A hackathon where everyone at BTH is welcome to create their own projects, supported by AI! 🤖 Over twelve hours, you will build a project from scratch based on themes presented at the start. You choose what you want to create and whether you work in a team or individually. Food 🍕 will be provided during the day, along with lectures about AI and related topics that can offer both ideas and practical guidance. Both beginners and experienced participants are welcome. When the time is up, you will present your projects and winners will be selected 🏆.

Innovation & Creativity
This category assesses the uniqueness of your concept. We are looking for original submissions that break away from common patterns and demonstrate a creative approach to solving a problem or providing entertainment.
Impact & Usefulness
Evaluates whether the solution effectively addresses a real-world problem. A high-scoring project provides a clear benefit to its target users and solves a specific pain point in a meaningful way.
