In addition, we encourage teamwork, the development of projects and we make the students, the young people, demonstrate their ability to change the world, the future”.

The students who have participated in the Hackathon have learned to communicate in public, to work in teams, to manage and to design and develop projects that show their skills and knowledge. In addition to proposing innovative solutions to real problems.
