Engineers Without Borders International is delighted to be partnering with the World Federation Of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) for the second year running to deliver a global Hackathon as part of the 2023 World Engineering Day celebrations.
This year, the theme is ‘engineering innovation for a more resilient world’.
The Hackathon is a global competition that aims to engage engineering students from universities around the world in engineering challenges aligned with the theme, and encourage engineering students to focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We’ve supported the development of the challenge brief, judging criteria and competition materials and provided judges from across our network.
Now students from all over the world can register for the opportunity to take part. The registration deadline is 9 January 2023, so sign up quickly!
The Hackathon challenges will be released on 9 January with submissions from student teams due by 22 January. The top 10 teams will be announced on 6 February with winners announced on World Engineering Day 4 March 2023. There are team prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place of EUR4,000, 2,000 and 1,000 respectively.
WFEO are also looking for judges to support in the preliminary judging round between 23 January to 5 February 2023. If you’re interested in judging, sign up here.
