SMART CITY HACK
Build your team. Compete to win.
Network with industry leaders - and create the future!
Our goal is to bring a diverse group of interdisciplinary students together to create solutions related to improving the future of smart cities. We especially hope to support the cause of using Tech for Good within this initiative.
The Hackathon will be held completely online and is free of charge. The challenges are hosted by Amazon, BMW, and Google.
Prior to the hackathon, each company will organize a workshop to introduce the challenge and clear any questions.
Mentors are provided during the hackathon to support the teams if they are stuck.
Each member of the winning team of every challenge will be awarded a prize by the hosting company worth approx. 300€.
The teams consist of 3-5 male and female students.
The registration is already open and ends on 20th October.
You can apply individually or as a team.
What's in it for you:
- interesting problems that have a real-life use case
- meaningful connections with other students and leading industry partners
- food, merge and, a great time
