Students break into teams of four to six and work together on a project. It could be a game, a cartoon, a chatbot, a website, a 3D model, or something else.
Soft-skills development and new friends
Participants will have to communicate a lot with each other, negotiate, sometimes argue and defend their point of view, find compromises and work together. It's a great opportunity to develop communication skills and make friends from all over the world!
Couch support
Each team will have a coach-captain who will organize students, distribute tasks, and help with project creation.
Gifts
All participants will receive certificates and memorable gifts of branded products.

Event program
The first step is team formation. During registration, you will be provided with a link to a list of all teams that are currently formed. You may pick a team by yourself or request assistance from the administration.
Each team will have a separate chat on our platform where students will be able to chat and call one another. Therefore, remember to log on regularly to the student's personal account. :)
Between January 13th and 15th, it is necessary to log into your personal account and check the call schedule.
On January 16th, you will hold a general conference call with the team, during which the project subject and work plan will be approved and roles assigned.
HACKATHON community membership is required as well.
Teams will be working on the project within 2 weeks. Students will decide on their own subject. It could be a game, a cartoon, a 3D model, etc.
January 16th – January 29th - working on the project
In addition to the project itself, each team will have to deliver a video result with a story about the team, the project and the creation process.
January 30th and 31th - preparing the video and presenting the projects.
All teams send completed projects and videos about how students developed them. The works are posted on the ITgenio school's social media channels and in internal communities in the personal account. A special online event will also be held :)
Certificates and awards will be given to all participants.
