What is our
Hackathon concept?
The year of 2021 is a special one. With many of us in isolation and working from home we all need more than ever social interaction, collaboration, do something good and have fun of course.
This is why Strypes Group created the Hack for the Future 2021. An online event where we all gather for a long weekend, exchange ideas, create something innovative in teams to help humanity, make some new connections, see old friends and have fun while doing all that.
Strypes Group and all the other organizers will make sure that all basics like food, drinks and the online platform provided by Kreativdistrikt – Eventornado are arranged for you, so all you need is your laptop and a good internet connection. We will also support you with some amazing mentors from various backgrounds, inspirational keynote speakers and some influential judges. On the Sunday of the event you will have 5 minutes to present what you’ve done and see if you can win some great prizes. We have it below.
Sounds like fun and you want to join, right?
Who can participate?
Everyone with a passion for coding is very welcome. All programming languages are cool. You can join the event for FREE! Create a team of maximum 5 friends and send us your details, we will contact you as soon as possible. Be fast, because the places are limited! We will have 21 teams or 100 people in total. In case you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us at hackathon@strypes.eu
Where will we gather ?
For obvious reasons this year we will hold the event online in Kreativdistrikt’s platform – Eventornado. We have some experienced tech team to facilitate our smooth online experience. Next year hopefully we will all meet somewhere and be together…
About the Organisers
Strypes Group is the host of the 3rd Hack for the future. We started in 2015 with the vision to give an opportunity to talented software developers in Bulgaria to share their ideas and showcase their skills. We believe a strong IT community helps all of us – companies or individuals, becoming better in what we do. Sharing ideas creates event better ones. We think innovation (and thus creativity) is key to our field of work. One of the many important ingredients for innovation is diversity. A hackathon is one of the many ways to start a creative and innovative journey together with the community of developers.
