Student participants will be working in small groups, using code and design to create their vision of the future of assembly production. The hope is that each group will have a tangible solution to present at the end of day two.

There are multiple ways to succeed at this event. You can use your coding abilities to program something awesome or tap into your design skills to create interactive mockups to show your vision. A jury consisting of Volvo employees and faculty members from the University of Skövde will provide feedback and present the winning team based on several technical and visionary criteria at the end of the event.

Each team will have help from a Volvo mentor. You will also have the possibility to take help from different co-workers from Volvo. This gives each team the best prerequisites to create something extraordinary during these two days.

This year's hackathon will take place 29 and 30 November at ASSAR. Lunch is included both days.
