Hack Zurich episode 3
HackZurich is Europe’s biggest Hackathon and since 2016 part of the Digital Festival. During four days makers and code shakers, tech fans and innovative startups from around the world come together to create an ecosystem of coding sessions, labs, workshops, parties and chill-outs.
At the HackZurich event participants will create teams comprising of minimum two people and a maximum of four. They will work together to create ideas – the ideas must be new and established during the Hackathon. Any codes written prior to the event will be invalid. For non-programmers, organisers of the event have organised workshops and invited experts to teach and inspire them. Each team will pitch their idea to the crowd and the best project will be awarded.
HackZurich is now officially accepting applications for the third edition of the 40 hours non-stop hacking marathon. The event will take place from Friday, 16th September to Sunday, 18th September 2016 in Technopark Zurich.
