HackIT
Moving Station, Pilsen
All you’ve got is 40 hours… and unlimited access to mentors and the internet. Create a project that will help people with disabilities. Take the first step. Register and arrive with your laptop and sleeping bag. Everything else – technologies, colleagues and mentors – will already be right there.
You’ll have a chance to try out technologies you’d hardly have a hope of using anywhere else, and to gain know-how simply and directly – and you can finally talk over your ideas with other people.
Don’t be fooled. #AimtecHackathon isn’t just about programming. Everyone who knows how to think tech and to work with hardware – or, say, graphics and UX – will find a place here. Come and try out what it’s like to work on a project in a team, what it means to present your results to a jury and other participants, and move yourself and others a little further.
When code helps...
What challenge have you accepted in 2024?
Develop concentration and train movements through games
When are you good at activities? When you're having fun! Help disabled Martin, who is disabled, to train his brain. Simplify playing a shooting game or football game so that he can control the game with one hand and still train his short-term memory. You can print him a special controller for games and other activities, for example using 3D printing.
Use pictures to communicate with autistic children
Over a thousand children with autism are born in the Czech Republic every year. Help Sara create pictograms for the daily routine. Use AI, voice commands or a simple keyboard. Can you create an app in Czech for a cell phone or smartwatch?
Create apps for the blind
Do you ever wonder where you put your medical report or car insurance card? That would be even more difficult if you were blind. Create an app to helps blind Lukas find what he needs. You can also come up with solutions so that two blind people can easily find each other when they make an appointment in town.
Complete the map for cancer patients
The map, named Portal Xko, is an interactive platform that offers essential information about medical facilities, health centers, rehabilitation centers, and psychological support for cancer patients and their families. What is missing on the portal so far is a blog section and a shared calendar. If you have skills in PHP, your footprint can have a really wide reach.
Open Challenge
Do you have a friend or acquaintance in your area that you want to help?
Do you know about a barrier that people with disabilities often struggle with?
Participants could bring their own topic and elaborate on it.

You can look forward to the following technologies
Amazon Web Services
Thanks to the support from Amazon, you'll be able to take advantage of all Amazon's cloud services - Amazon Web Services, whether hosted servers, or Lambda functions (Server-Less Computing), DynamoDB database, or scalable storage S3.
Speech Technologies
Department of Cybernetics ZČU and SpeechTech s.r.o. make available their technologies for speech and text processing. You can use speech recognition and synthesis, learn to work with neural networks or try machine learning.
NIVY Watch
The industrial smartwatch NIVY Watch allows you to locate, schedule and remind your daily tasks. Which project will you use it for?
Next Mind
We measure and evaluate the electrical activity of the human brain, develop and use experimental software, hardware and brain-computer interface applications, process biosignals and analyze brain data related to health, movement and human behavior in stressful or repetitive situations. We do computer support for neurorehabilitation and we like to transfer data from biological neural networks to artificial neural networks.
Amazon Alexa
Do we really need to introduce this lady?
Raspberry Pi 5
The fifth generation of Raspberry Pi offers a more powerful processor and significant graphics performance boost. It supports two 4Kp60 displays and state-of-the-art camera technology.
Arduino
What would be software without hardware?! The hackathon will not miss Arduino and the supply of sensors, modules and components for your projects. Arduino-shop lent us several development kits. Do you already feel the smell of solder?
3D printing
Print anything you need for your project. A couple of printers will be ready!
