HackIT
Moving Station, Pilsen
All you’ve got is 40 hours… and unlimited access to mentors and the internet. Create a project that will help people with disabilities. Take the first step. Register and arrive with your laptop and sleeping bag. Everything else – technologies, colleagues and mentors – will already be right there.
You’ll have a chance to try out technologies you’d hardly have a hope of using anywhere else, and to gain know-how simply and directly – and you can finally talk over your ideas with other people.
Don’t be fooled. #AimtecHackathon isn’t just about programming. Everyone who knows how to think tech and to work with hardware – or, say, graphics and UX – will find a place here. Come and try out what it’s like to work on a project in a team, what it means to present your results to a jury and other participants, and move yourself and others a little further.
When code helps...
What challenge will you choose?
The future of elderly care: an AI companion plushie
Are mobile apps too complicated for your grandfather? Help create a smart stuffed animal that is not only fun for the elderly but also a reliable companion. Program its intelligence to carry on a conversation, provide information, offer emotional support, or remind you of a doctor's appointment.
Step by step to new possibilities
Create a VR horror game designed to motivate Emma to use a walker after her spinal injury. Together, we will develop an engaging and thrilling world where each step she takes will help her conquer her fears and bring her closer to her goal.
Communication without limit
Create an innovative communicator for people with limited communication skills. The device can combine hardware and mobile applications and allow, for example, children with autism to express themselves using pictures and a synthesized or pre-recorded voice.
Virtual Escape
Imagine how lonely and tired the hospital environment can make the long-term sick feel. Help us program a VR application that will enable them to overcome difficult moments and bring relief and joy. And virtually, they'll be able to visit their favorite beach, talk to their family, or meditate in a peaceful forest.
Hack Diabetes
Collaborate with experts in the field to develop educational software that helps both children and adults manage their diabetes more effectively. This software should teach users how to regularly monitor their blood sugar levels and properly use their insulin pumps. Alternatively, consider designing a game that makes effective diabetes management enjoyable by utilizing data in an innovative way.

You can look forward to the following technologies
Amazon Web Services
Thanks to the support from Amazon, you'll be able to take advantage of all Amazon's cloud services - Amazon Web Services, whether hosted servers, or Lambda functions (Server-Less Computing), DynamoDB database, or scalable storage S3.
Artificial Intelligence
Use AI to generate visualisations, develop chatbots and analyse data. Professionals will be on site to help you.
Speech Technologies
The Department of Cybernetics at ZČU offers technologies for speech and text processing. Utilize speech recognition and synthesis in your projects, learn to work with neural networks, or explore machine learning.
Virtual & Augmented Reality
Experience a simulated 3D environment with special glasses and interactive equipment. Virtual reality provides a safe space to simulate scenarios ranging from critical rescue operations to complex scientific experiments. On the hackathon, you can try and use several devices for augmented and virtual reality from our partner CIE.
Brainlink
This headband measures and evaluates the electrical activity of the human brain. With experimental software, hardware and a brain-computer interface, you can process biosignals and analyze brain data related to health, movement and human behavior in stressful or repetitive situations. Biological neural network data can also be processed by artificial neural networks.
360 camera
With the Insta360 X4 camera, you can edit captured footage and immerse viewers in a VR headset. Can you connect patients to the outside world?
Electronics
Use electronics to monitor motion, light and other conditions and connect to other applications.
Arduino
What would be software without hardware?! The hackathon will not miss Arduino and the supply of sensors, modules and components for your projects. Arduino-shop lent us several development kits. Do you already feel the smell of solder?
Raspberry Pi 5
The fifth generation of Raspberry Pi offers a more powerful processor and significant graphics performance boost. It supports two 4Kp60 displays and state-of-the-art camera technology.
3D printing
Print anything you need for your project.
