GreenTech Hackathon

In November 2019, Nice Hub co-organized a 24h hackathon, together with the association WHAT06 (Women Hackers Action Tank 06).

Throughout the 24 hours, the participants were guided by coaches. In addition, a dedicated workshop helped them prepare the final pitch, in front of the audience and jury. At the same time, 2 workshops dedicated to children were organized on the themes: "Design Thinking" and "Artificial intelligence with educational robots". Overall the event was inclusive and friendly towards families and people of all ages and backgrounds.
