Hackathons offer a unique opportunity to put theoretical knowledge into practice. During intensive one-day competitions, you and your team will solve a specific problem within a limited time frame. You will then present the results of your work to a jury of experts in the field and client representatives, allowing you to gain valuable feedback and establish new industry contacts.
Case studies will challenge you to solve real-world problems with incomplete information. You will analyze the situation, find key data, propose solutions, and finally present your findings. This process will help you develop analytical thinking and gain practical skills necessary for success in your field.
