The Hack agenda
During the hackathon, facilitators, coordinator and a back office will energize and support the teams and guide them through the hack process.
- We begin by deepening our understanding of the challenge, by defining the needs of the people connected to it. There will be several resources and experts available for the teams to help them gain insights.
- Based on these insights, the teams will work together to find a number of potential ideas and solutions.
- The teams will come up with one final idea, which they will pitch to a jury panel who will grade the projects based on certain assessment criteria.
- And finally, the award ceremony where the winning team will receive a nice prize.
Program Coordinators
