Hackathon Luxembourg on Sustainable Urban Development

What is a hackathon

Hackathon is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development and hardware development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects.

Subject of this event

The hackathon Luxembourg 2016 is focused on Sustainable Urban Development. More specific topics will be proposed at the beginning of the event (Friday evening) so that teams can focus on real-world challenges.

How it works

The objective is to create in 44h a service, a digital application, a Web site or any software product in a collaborative way and to present the prototype in front of a jury of professionals. The jury then evaluates the originality of the project, the quality of the prototype, the proposed user experience, the technical and economic feasibility of the project and awards a prize to the best project.

Beyond the user-friendliness of the event, Hackathon makes it possible to make professional meetings and to show its competences.
