The 5G Student Battle is a hackathon competition in which you work in a team to create an innovative solution for a real life challenge in our region, using 5G technology. After two previous successful editions (2019, 2021), the next edition of the 5G Student Battle is planned for Saturday November 26th and Sunday November 27th, 2022 at the Zernike Campus.
Hackathon
To prepare for the hackathon, four clinics will be organised where your team will gain more insight into 5G technology, design thinking and the Internet of Things. Your team will also receive pitch training, to be able to deliver a great pitch about your team’s solution during the finale. Your team will be supported by a designated team coach from one of the 5G Partners to help prepare and execute the hackathon.
During the hackathon weekend, all five teams work day, night and morning to design a prototype. The devised 5G solution will be presented on Sunday afternoon to a professional jury and the public, who can also vote for the winner. Ultimately, there is a prize pool of € 7,500 to be shared, so multiple teams can win.
Who can participate?
All students of Alfa-college, Noorderpoort, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and University of Groningen, from any study year and any study background, can participate.
Technical, creative or expert? All talent is welcome and encouraged to sign up.
Please note that the competition language is English. Your English does not need to be perfect, but you should have sufficient command of the English language to be able to understand assignments and instructions, and work with (international) teammates.
