On November 30, the 2nd stage of the hackathon “TECHNOPOLIS’23” took place at the Brest State Technical University.
The hackathon was organized by the Brest Science and Technology Park as part of the international technical assistance project “Stimulating the potential of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies for inclusive and sustainable industrial development in Belarus,” which is funded by the Russian Federation and implemented by UNIDO in partnership with the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus.
Hackathon participants from educational institutions of the Brest region presented finalized projects on the topic of social entrepreneurship in the following areas:
City Park. How to arrange a modern park;
Universal pass bracelet. How to get to school and pay for transport;
Augmented reality application for drug addiction prevention;
Computer game for diabetic children;
Intelligent vacuum cleaner;
The concept of an application to eliminate offenses;
Implementation of a WordPress website and integration of a CRM system.
The jury of the second stage of the hackathon included: Vice-Rector for Scientific Work of BrSTU Shalobyta Nikolai Nikolaevich, Head of the Research Department of the University Sheshko Nikolai Nikolaevich, Dean of the Faculty of Economics of BrSTU Victoria Vasilievna Zazerskaya and resident of the Brest Technopark Dmitry Vitalievich Rashchupkin. According to the competent jury, two teams that worked on a project to develop an augmented reality application for the prevention of drug addiction were recognized as winners. The essence of the case is to create an application that will allow citizens to photograph the inscriptions of drug shops around the city and send them, indicating their geolocation, to an online service for further transfer of this information to government agencies for the prevention of illegal drug trafficking.
Based on the results of the 2nd stage of the hackathon “TECHNOPOLIS’23”, three projects were recommended for participation in the regional stage of the Republican youth project “100 ideas for Belarus”. The participants of the two teams received an offer from the Brest Technopark to implement their projects as residents.
We congratulate all hackathon participants and wish them success in solving non-standard problems!
