Event Overview
On May 27, we were thrilled to join the annual hackathon hosted by our partner, 1991 Accelerator.
This event is a haven for those eager to deepen their knowledge and launch projects in a fast-paced, innovative environment. The top three hackathon teams earned spots in the prestigious Open Data Accelerator and competed for grants totaling UAH 5,800,000.
Our Participation
We couldn’t stay on the sidelines of this incredible event. Our CEO, Ivan, joined as a mentor for the teams, while our Senior UI/UX Designer, Khrystyna, led a lecture series where she dove into the practical side of prototyping, even building a prototype from scratch.
Session Takeaways
Participants gained hands-on experience, learning core principles and receiving additional materials to continue practicing on their own. The feedback from attendees and Khrystia’s session was fantastic, and we even sent small gifts to the most active participants as a thank-you for their enthusiasm.
A big thank you to the 1991 Accelerator team! We’re looking forward to more opportunities to connect and collaborate!
