An all night long marathon in which teams of up to four participants must come up with, develop, program and build a prototype for something that will hopefully make the world a better place. Our Hackathon is a part of an international initiative that defies students and teachers, schools and universities to promote the use of cutting-edge technology to shape tomorrow into something more sustainable.

This year we are at it again, with a bigger hackathon with bigger prizes for the three winning teams. There will be three winning projects:

• The Best Business Idea Hack award, which will be granted to the team whose idea is the most profitable and competitive for the current economic market;
• The Best Environmental Hack will award the team whose idea has better potential to impact the world to make it more friendly to the environment;
• The Best Green Hack award, given to the team that has the best of both worlds, business and environmental, to make our world better.
