Student Hackathon Startup024

What is Startup 024 about?

Startup024 is a one-day hackathon in which several student teams will try to solve social challenges about the wellbeing of students. A hackathon is a working method in which groups of students develop a solution to a problem during a defined period of time. At the end of the day the solutions are presented in a plenary session and feedback is provided by the groups and/or the problem holder.

What can I expect?

Join us for a day of innovation and impact! During Startup024 you’ll work with your team on one of the social challenges and try to create a solution for the challenge. Expect intense brainstorming, expert feedback, networking opportunities, meeting new people and a lot of fun.
