From an idea to a prototype in two days: HackDay # 9 will be held on October 23-24 in St. Petersburg



    The first autumn St. Petersburg HackDay will take place in two and a half weeks. For participants, this is a great chance to assemble a team for your idea, develop a prototype of the project, do work in two days, which could not be found in any way, and meet useful people.
    We invite programmers, designers, project managers, designers, marketers, as well as everyone else who has a project idea, but does not have enough time / resources to implement it. If you don’t have your own idea, you can join any project you like.
    We will also have interesting practical workshops, a presentation of technical innovations, the Internet and a fun atmosphere.

    Registration of participants



    HackDay is an event where participants work to bring their ideas to prototype. You can come with ready-made ideas, for the implementation of which you did not have time. You can assemble a team directly on Hackday. Finally, you can start participating in one of our open technology workshops and create a new project based on them.
    Prizes will be awarded to the three best projects.

    Currently, registration is underway.

    To participate in the event, you need to register and post the idea of ​​your project with a description of who is required in the team, or join an existing project. Work will go on for two days - Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday morning there will be a presentation of project ideas, in the afternoon - master classes. Sunday evening will be held demofest - presentation of developed projects.

    This time we want to present the following addition to our traditional format: highlighting new or insufficiently mastered subject areas. So, one of the directions of HackDay # 9 will be the direction of “HackDay - city” - and we invite everyone who wants to realize their IT ideas or participate in creating projects in this area.
    They can solve, for example, the following tasks:
    • providing citizens with the necessary information;
    • preservation, improvement and development of the urban environment;
    • promotion of a responsible lifestyle: for example, installing filters on cars, cleaning garbage, arranging playgrounds;
    • everything that you consider necessary and useful for the city and its inhabitants.

    Another addition to the traditional hack is that we will have many testers on October 23-24. Long gone are the days when testers were low-skilled employees connected at the final stages of development. We want to prove that the sooner the tester is on the project, and the deeper he is involved in the development, the more benefit he can bring. Competent testers are able to benefit by learning the requirements; setting up the environment for debugging; Offering solutions that are economical in terms of testing; to act as a future user, defending his interests and much more.

    If you have an idea for which there is not enough time, if you have a desire to do something useful, but there are no good ideas, then HackDay is for you. If you are a developer, designer, marketer, user interface designer or just feel that you can make a contribution to some project, then come - we are waiting for you!

    Come. Your hackday.
