HackIT
from 20/03/2026 to 22/03/2026, 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.
Helping through Code
What challenge will you choose?
Vision training for enhanced learning
Proper eye function is essential for reading, writing, and other skills in children with atypical development. Engaging games can help develop visual perception and improve spatial orientation. Through these activities, children will learn to focus on specific elements, recognize shapes, letters, and numbers, and track their movements. As a result, they will be better equipped to master functional literacy and essential everyday motor skills.
Electric wheelchairs with motorsport DNA
Collaborate on the development of revolutionary sports electric wheelchairs. Astrum Mobility is nearing the completion of the hardware, testing environment, and basic controls. Add software, improve controls, and help make performance, safety, and fun accessible to all users. Help bring a prototype that can significantly improve the lives of wheelchair users into a commercial reality.
Smart mobility in Pilsen
Use real data from city sensors and cameras. Design a solution that clearly displays traffic flow, intensity, or vehicle routing. This will assist the city in planning and managing traffic more efficiently. Additionally, enhance the 3D model of Pilsen by incorporating building heights, number of people, access points, or gas cylinder locations. The integrated rescue system will use the model to manage interventions during crisis situations.
Hack solutions for healthcare and nutrition
Get involved in creating apps and devices that simplify life for individuals and their families. Develop a solution for medication dosing that helps users remember to take their daily pills, or create a mobile keto diet calculator that makes complex nutritional tables easily accessible on the go.
Sensors for Smarter Prosthetics
Modern prosthetics can facilitate movement, but they often lack a crucial feature – sensory feedback. To enhance the user experience, we can develop a solution that adds basic sensory feedback, making daily life easier for those with prosthetics. This design should enable users to perceive temperature, recognize contact with objects, and simplify the control of touch devices.

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, scalable storage S3 or AI/ML services (Comprehend, Forecast, Rekognition, Translate, and more).
Vibe coding
Use vibe coding in your projects. Accelerate development and transform your prototype into a functional solution.
Speech Technologies
The Department of Cybernetics at ZČU offers technologies for speech and text processing. Utilize speech recognition and synthesis in your projects, learn to work with neural networks, or explore machine learning.
LLM
Use LLM (Large Language Models) in your projects. Enable your applications to understand text, provide responses, and interact with data using natural language.
Virtual & Augmented Reality
Experience a simulated 3D environment with special glasses and interactive equipment. Virtual reality provides a safe space to simulate scenarios ranging from critical rescue operations to complex scientific experiments. On the hackathon, you can try and use several devices for augmented and virtual reality from our partner CIE.
Electronics
Use electronics to monitor motion, light and other conditions and connect to other applications.
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.
3D printing
Print anything you need for your project.
3D model of buildings in the city of Pilsen
The 3D model of buildings is constructed above the existing layer of structures as part of the Special Purpose Map of the Surface Situation of the Pilsen Region. This building model accurately reflects the contours of the buildings and also incorporates features such as bridges and retaining walls. Data from the 3D model, along with other objects located in the center of Pilsen, can be accessed on the Pilsen City Map Portal.
Electric wheelchairs Astrum Mobility
Choose a topic to collaborate on developing electric sports wheelchairs and test the results of your work in practice.
