Join the Hackathon in Wroclaw!
Are you passionate about gaming, sports or travel? Have you ever wanted to build your own business? At the 10th CASSINI Hackathon, you’re invited to develop solutions or services made for consumers. Success stories start here…
Our participants get all the training and tools to utilise EU space data and reimagine the consumer experience. Over three days in Krakow, you’ll hear from experts in retail, gaming and travel. You’ll explore the data available from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Then you’ll connect with other professionals to form a multi-skilled team. Your challenge? Pick one:
#1 Immersive gameplay with space technology and data. Can you use Galileo’s positioning data to enhance dynamic gameplay? Utilise satellite connectivity for real-time updates? Or create your own core gameplay mechanics to integrate real resource management data?
#2 Space-powered performance - transforming sports. Could you use GNSS to improve athletes’ analytics? Create training plans which are adaptable to the weather and terrain? Or develop an immersive app for fans to feel like they’re running with their favourite players?
#3 Beyond horizons - redefining travel with space innovation. Would you use satellite imagery and Galileo positioning to help travellers enjoy safer, sustainable trips? Build a tool for travel agents to make their service more personalised? Or create an immersive app which allows people to explore from anywhere?
