💻 Hackathon INT20H
Programmers also need to figure out who the coolest is! Which is why, every year, we hold Hackathon INT20H, where participants challenge themselves and code for 20 hours on end. During this event, students have the opportunity to talk with representatives of IT companies and find a job.
