U!Pick Hackathon will take place at VSB -Technical University of Ostrava, Czechia from 5 to 7 November 2026
U!Pick Hackathon is open to students from U!REKA's partner universities.
Have you ever felt lost and wished you had an app to guide you?
Your challenge is to design the concept of an app that makes choosing exchange studies easier, smarter, and more sustainable. Incorporate SDG principles into mobility decisions, so we all can contribute to a bigger cause. Get inspired by mentors and real-world challenges. Be ready to present your work and handle feedback from the jury.
Where and when?
To get everyone on the same page, we’ll kick things off with a short online session one week before. The hackathon starts in Ostrava on Thursday evening with a meet-up, team formation, and some fun. Friday is all about working on your project, and Saturday is for final touches and presentations.
Who are we expecting?
University and college students from all fields are welcome. Those with a background in business, marketing and IT may have a slight advantage. If you enjoy challenges, believe in your ideas, and want to meet new people, this event is perfect for you.
