What to expect at HackHPI 2018

Our planet is in trouble, no doubt. But we think that technology and software bear the potential for solving some of the biggest problems on earth: pollution, global warming and natural disasters. We want to provide a place for creative ideas which will make our blue planet a better place to live.

For 22 hours of hacking, we will bring students from Berlin, Brandenburg and the rest of the world together in the HPI School of Design Thinking, located on our campus. By providing world class sponsors including workshops and access to their data and APIs, a great location and plenty of caffeine to fuel your brain we will create a space for creativity, inspiring ideas and a passion for trying out new things.
