A hackathon is an intensive event that brings together experts to collaboratively solve a challenge concerning sustainability within a limited timeframe. This hackathon is organized by Haaga-Helia UAS and Novia UAS and it is a part of the project Carbon Neutral Experience 2.0. The format is competitive.
Haaga-Helia and Novia wants students to design carbon neutral solutions for a commissioner. These universities of applied sciences host together a hackathon, inviting teams of developers to participate. Each team provides a solution, and a jury selects the best product or service, awarding a prize.
The success of hackathons stems from the creative freedom they offer. Unlike typical development constraints, feel free to explore innovative solutions without rigid methodologies or company rules. While there is a time limit, organizers usually don’t impose a strict framework. This environment fosters productivity, problem-solving, and idea-sharing. Participants also get the chance to learn, network, and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere and team spirit.
Innovation: Hackathons encourage out-of-the-box thinking and innovative solutions.
Career Opportunities: Winning teams often land contracts or job offers from participating organizations.
Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, hackathons provide a fantastic opportunity to collaborate, learn, and create something remarkable.
Material regarding carbon natural travelling and tourism.
Online workshop and pre-assignment about the project and reports and internet links to current sources are provided in connection with the course introduction lecture.
In addition, the students are expected to search for sources connected to the specific challenge they are working on.
