Do you have ideas, want to make a difference and develop innovative solutions? Then take part in the hackathon! Within 48 hours, you can try out concepts, technologies and methods together with other creative minds to develop sustainable innovations. Whether technical know-how, economic thinking or social creativity - the "Green Future of the Border Region" team (LEAD partners KARR, TGZ Bautzen, HSZG Zittau/Görlitz) is looking forward to YOUR CONTRIBUTION!
A hackathon is an event where creative and innovative solutions for specific challenges are developed in a short space of time. You work in interdisciplinary teams on real case studies provided by companies, research facilities and institutions from the region. In the end, prototypes or concepts are developed that can create real added value for the region.
The focus is on sustainable solutions for the three-country region (Germany, Poland, Czech Republic). The focus is on energy efficiency, resource conservation, economic development and social innovation. Companies and institutions from the region provide real problems - you can work on solutions that are really needed!
Everyone! Students from various disciplines are particularly welcome: Engineering, natural sciences, economics, social sciences, tourism, culture - and of course computer science! You don't need any previous knowledge of programming - bring your strengths to the table and work on new ideas as part of a team.
In small teams, you will use various methods such as design thinking, rapid prototyping and creative problem-solving approaches. You will have access to high-tech tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters and experimental labs. You will be supported by experienced experts who will help you to develop your ideas further.
The best teams will have the chance to present their prototypes or concepts at the Energy Forum in Bautzen. At least one of the solutions developed will be continued with partners from the region - so your contribution can make a long-term difference!
In addition to the intensive teamwork, you can expect an inspiring atmosphere: exciting challenges, new contacts, delicious food and relaxed places to chat during breaks. Not only can you gain valuable experience for your CV, you can also make friends and network for the future.
