Brewing coffee
Then you are welcome to join these 24 hours on the 14-15 of October. Every College and high school student is welcome to join us and create and pitch their idea.
Did you always like to turn certain challenges into reality and to work together in a team? Then this weekend is amazing opportunity for you. You'll join
a lot of other nerds/geeks/super hero's/designers etc. to turn a certain "challenge" into an amazing prototype that you can pitch at the end of the hackathon. The theme of the hackathon will be "The new economy" which is based on a new economy model where corporate social responsibility is one of the top priorities.
There will be sponsors and mentors from other companies available to make these 24 hours an amazing success for you. At the end of the hackathon you'll have to pitch your idea with your team and a jury of
professionals will judge your prototype. You can win serveral prizes and meet a lot of new people! in short, just an amazing experience that you can be proud of!
Well, we wanted our hackathon to be the bare bone of what it is about, we decided that the name should be coffee and coding (stereotypically).
A hackathon is an awesome event where a lot of people come together and create and invent new awesome things during 24-48 hours.
Your student id, yourself and a good mood, your laptop and charger. We will provide you with internet, a table for your team and a lot of food and drinks.
We are proud to announce that the event is going take place at the Launch Cafe in Groningen from the 14-15 October 2017. The event will be 24 hours approximately.
Every college, university and high school student that is over 14 years of age at the start of the event is welcome to join us. You are also welcome to join us if you graduated lesser than 12 months ago.

Yes of course! We're still working on it. When it's done we will publish it on our website.
We will have a "chill room" for you to take a quick nap or just to chill out but we don't advice you to sleep there if you want a good night of sleep. If you want to use this room to take a nap we advice you to bring your sleeping bag and pillow.
Teams consist out of 6 or less people, so you can also join alone but this could be pretty boring so we advice you to search for a team ;).
All teams will be registered at the hackathon. There will be some time to meet new people and search for team members.
At the top of the page there is a big fat "Register now" button. You can click that if you want to participate :)
to keep you updated we need an email, no worries we will not spam you. If it's a great success we may want to see you next year.
We're still thinking about great prizes and challenges and they will be posted on the website as soon as possible. Are you a company with a great challenge or prize? Please shoot us an e-mail at info@coffeeandcoding.nl!
Unfortunately we are unable to provide travel reimbursements this year.
Thanks to our sponsors it's absolutely free to participate. We will provide you with a table for your team, food and drinks :D and of course an unforgettable weekend!

We are proud to announce that the Launch Cafe in Groningen will be our venue for this event. The Launch cafe is a coworking place for startups and freelancers and an amazing place for events like this. The launch Cafe is a 5 min walk from the central train station of Groningen and if you you really don't like to walk you can take any bus that stops at Hereplein and from there it's a 30 second walk. If you travel by plain and land at Eelde airport you can take busline 9 or 100 (Direction Hoofdstation) and if you land at Schiphol Amsterdam you can take the train to Groningen.
