To provide our students with a unique and incredible experience, we use one of the most powerful "tools" for acquiring knowledge, tackling challenges, and solving real problems, stepping outside the traditional rcs data asia environment - participating in a 48-hour live hackathon.
Brainster Next College students had their first amazing experience in May that they will remember for a long time. It was the first 48-hour hackathon for our students where they joined forces with students from 5 Brainster academies – UX/UI, Front-End, Full-Stack, QA & Project & Product Management.
Over 140 participants, grouped into 8 teams, worked on developing an educational web platform for the partner SCiDEV Albania. Their goal was to create a web platform that brings great educational value, i.e. a platform that contributes to facilitating and automating the process of creating events focused on education, similar to our hackathons. In other words, through technology and innovation together with our students we promote education by creating a tech solution for education. With just two, three clicks, each user can create an event for more than 200 people at the same time.
What was the euphoria like at the first hackathon for the students of Brainster Next College?
Dynamic, challenging, exciting and full of adrenaline… These were the most frequently uttered words we heard from participants during the hackathon.
Hundreds of talents gathered in one place, each with different technical knowledge and specialties, but all with the same enthusiasm and desire to finish the hackathon richer with new experience, but also friends.
Throughout our conversations, excitement, a hunger for new knowledge, and a determination to get the best out of themselves and their team prevailed among many of them.
What dominated the 48 hours of live work were the smiling faces, the dedication to the project and the enthusiasm. Despite the fact that most of the participants indicated that they were here to learn something new, meet new people and improve their knowledge, the desire to win was visibly present in each team, and the competitiveness between the teams was exactly what made this hackathon even more interesting and exciting.
Read what the students from Brainster Next College shared with us, who found themselves in such an environment for the first time and had the chance to learn from mentors together with the students from Brainster Academies.
Our student David Petkovski , who is now in his second year, shared with us that the hackathon was a big challenge for him, but since he is a person who loves challenges, he had a great time.
