AI solutions for the University of Geneva
The one-day hackathon hackademIA is a special UNIGE edition of Hackathon Piaget, a hackathon organized annually by the SDG Solution Space and partners since 2022. This hackathon series is dedicated to innovations for teaching and learning, in the spirit of Jean Piaget, a pedagogical pioneer of the University of Geneva.
Hackathon Piaget is also part of the centennial celebration of the International Bureau of Education (IBE), which Piaget directed from its inception and for nearly 40 years. Today, the IBE is a UNESCO institute.
Furthermore, hackademIA builds on the track record of an institutional hackathon called Hackademia, managed by the Bureau de la Transformation Numérique of the Rectorate of the University of Geneva, which has successfully brought together members of the UNIGE staff and student community to solve practical challenges for the last four years.

Challenges will be posted on this webpage as of 14 November and team formation will occur based on project preferences while ensuring an overall balanced participation. challenge pitching session is planned a week before on Friday 28 March from 18:00-20:00.
