The B-prepared Hackathon Concludes with Outstanding Results

On September 19, we organized one of the most exciting events of the B-prepared project: the hackathon, where the finalists selected in the previous round were invited to compete. Ten participants from four countries joined the offline challenge, each tackling a personalized development task and presenting their solutions to the jury. The decision was not easy, as the level of competition was exceptionally high — in the end, in addition to the three main prizes, two special awards were also presented.
