HACKATHON

Ready to code? Join the new BEST Hackathon! Network with local companies, tackle a coding challenge and compete with your team for awesome prizes in an 8-hour coding marathon. Join us and get your chance to win!

Get ready to dive into a 1-day coding marathon with Valhacks, hosted by the student organization BEST! 

On Saturday 8th of November, join us at SkyLab (DTU Lyngby) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Take part on an exhilarating hackathon where you will have the chance to network with local IT companies offering exclusive recruitment opportunities. 

Make up a team of 4 coders or get assigned to one and tackle a coding challenge presented by our main partner, Accenture. You will be given a challenge. How to solve it and which technology you use is up to you. After 8 hours, the teams that come up with the best 3 solutions will win a fantastic prize! 

What’s the challenge,” you ask? Well, it’s a secret! Our partner gives just one clue: Music! You’re advised to come prepared with data manipulation tools such as pandas or scikit-learn, and machine or deep learning libraries. 

Lunch, dinner, and snacks are provided— just bring yourself, your computer, and your best coding skills! 

Deadline to apply is November 2nd. Participants will be asked for a small fee of 25 DKK per person.  

Don't miss out on this opportunity to showcase your talent and compete to become the new Valhacks winner!
