Hackathons
A hackathon is an event where participants with diverse skills collaborate to tackle global challenges. Participants form teams to brainstorm, design, and code, aiming to produce a working solution or prototype by the event's conclusion. Beyond fostering innovation and teamwork, EU Code Week hackathons offer a platform for young enthusiasts to learn, showcase their talents, and connect with like-minded peers.
Adapting the traditional hackathon format, the EU Code Week Hackathons take into consideration the age of the participants and cater to the unique skills, insights, and interests of adolescents. The aim of the EU Code Week Hackathons is to inspire young people to develop their coding and problem-solving skills by engaging them in collaborative, creative, and innovative projects.
