Throughout the whole weekend, numerous workshops on dedicated tech topics will be given any time of the day / night in order to help you out, and coaches will deblock you on these expected "ahaaaaa-I'm-blocked" moment. Coaches/ experts will be actively participating on their own challenge : get at least 75% of the participants crossing the finish line of a working experience & improving their coaching/teaching skills. Sunday 14 October - 6pm, go home and get some well deserved sleep - you got some new tech skills to test a growing industry. This program is completely tailored for participants eager to increase their tech skills.

[Let op: De hackathon is uitgesteld. De nieuwe datum is nog niet bepaald. Mocht je voorkeur hebben voor een datum in September of Oktober, laat dit dan even weten!] Kom meedoen in Heusden Vesting Met trots nodig ik je uit om deel te nemen aan de eerste echte sociaal maatschappelijke hackathon in Nederland. Heb je zin om twee dagen intensief oplossingen te verzinnen voor uitdagingen in de publieke ruimte, verkeer, bestuur en sociale verbanden? Meld je dan aan! Wat valt er te verdienen? Tijdens twee leuke, intensieve dagen maak je kennis met bewoners, ondernemers en studenten van allerlei richtingen. Door samen te werken kun je van elkaar leren en leer je perspectieven kennen die je tijdens je studie niet zult krijgen! De hackathon wordt door de inwoners en ondernemers gedragen en geeft je een unieke kans de vesting echt te beleven. Uiteraard zijn er prijzen te winnen: Juryprijs €1500 2x runner-up €500 *Publieksprijs €500 *De publieksprijs zal door de inwoners van Heusden vesting worden toegekend en kan dus bovenop de Juryprijs of de runner-up prijzen komen! Waarom een hackathon? Een eeuwen oude stad zoekt haar weg door de geschiedenis. De huidige tijd van versnelling en ideeën vraagt om een creatieve aanpak om de toekomst van de stad te verzekeren. We willen ideeën buiten de gebaande paden. Geen vastgeroeste ideeën en geen beladen verleden. Ideeën die zijn bedacht door een nieuwe generatie op een nieuwe manier. Een generatie waar ook Heusden aansluiting mee wil houden. Wat willen we bereiken? We willen komen tot een visie op de toekomst van Heusden. Heusden heeft een uniek karakter. Het is door de mengeling van ondernemen, wonen en recreëren een mini-gemeenschap waar veel diversiteit heerst. Dit maakt Heusden niet alleen uniek maar biedt ook kansen voor een vergaande vorm van “zelfbestuur”, een nieuw participatiemodel.
