The Hackthon offers all participants the unique opportunity to work on projects together with students from different and highly-developing faculties.

Professional technical support is provided by the cloud services from Amazon Web Services (AWS).

For each challenge, a sample is provided that can be used  without programming knowledge. In an introductory course, all topics and tools will also be explained and presented.
