SHack Graz – a Social Hackathon
From November 28 to 29, 2019, EYA organized the SHack Graz (Social Hackathon) inside the innovation-inciting Smart Business Center Graz-West.
The participants of the SHack Graz worked hard for 48 hours in order to plan, design and create prototypes of smart digital solutions for societal challenges. The event focussed on the EYA contest categories. The topics were wide open – any and all ideas that improve society were welcomed!
