The world of technology is changing rapidly, and artificial intelligence has already become part of everyday life. To help young developers take their first steps in creating smart systems, the programming school is holding the Code&Bot Hackathon — a two-day marathon of ideas, code, and innovation.

Theme and goals

The main theme of the hackathon is AI and automation. Participants will have to create a solution that uses machine learning, neural networks, or chatbots to simplify real-world processes. This could be a data analysis service, an intelligent assistant, or a tool that automates routine tasks.

The goal is to show that artificial intelligence is accessible to everyone and can be useful in a wide variety of fields: education, business, medicine, manufacturing, and even everyday life.

Project examples

  • A system that automatically classifies user reviews.
  • A machine learning model for forecasting demand for goods.
  • A web panel for data visualization with elements of neuroanalytics.
  • A voice assistant for internal company tasks.

Hackathon program

Day 1: Idea and start of development

  • Registration and welcome of participants.
  • Lecture by an expert: “How to implement AI in real products.”
  • Pitching ideas and forming teams.
  • Concept and MVP development: choosing technologies (Python, TensorFlow, GPT API, etc.).
  • Evening checkpoint with mentors — first feedback.

Day 2: Development, testing, defense

  • Morning brainstorming and goal adjustment.
  • Full-fledged work on the project — implementation of key functions.
  • Master class: “Data visualization and presentation of AI projects.”
  • Pitch and demo preparation.
  • Final presentations to the jury.
  • Summing up and awarding the winners.

Nominations and prizes

  • Innovation of the Year — for an original idea and technical solution.
  • Best AI Project — for the effective application of machine learning.
  • Automation in Action — for a project that really simplifies life.
  • Best Interface Design — for usability and visual presentation.

Winners receive diplomas, gifts from partners, and invitations to internships at IT companies.

Who can participate

The hackathon is open to:

  • IT students and graduates;
  • novice programmers and analysts;
  • Designers interested in AI service interfaces;
  • Anyone who wants to try their hand at developing smart systems.

You can participate individually or in teams of up to 5 people.
