About

NOI Hackathon Summer Edition

NOI Hackathon Summer Edition is a 24-hour event that brings together creatives and developers to conceive new ideas and projects.

24 hours of hacking, collaborating, co-creating, and developing for (currently secret) topics that will be revealed at the start of the Hackathon. The themes will focus on sustainability, thanks to the support of Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse.

Generate new ideas alone or in a team. This one is for creative people, creators, developers, designers, data experts, entrepreneurs, tech geeks, coding lovers… of any level and with any background – just get involved!

And, yes, we have prizes for our winners but the aim of the event is to inspire, so if you are on the fence about a career in tech, get involved and give it a go.

How will our work be evaluated?
Your project will be evaluated based on:

Where should we upload our code?
All teams are required to use the central Git repository provided by the organisers.
This ensures that all submitted projects remain accessible and openly available after the event. You will receive access and instructions at the beginning of the hackathon.
Only projects submitted to the official repository will be eligible for evaluation.
