Recordly store Hackathon

Who's it for? 

A hackathon can be organized for any team, really. It's perfect for team building exercises, testing new technologies, building prototypes, you name it. For example: 

• Teams starting AI projects

• Leaders looking to spark innovation

• Public sector organizations aiming to test new ideas safely.

Example use cases or themes

In our own internal hackathons, we've focused e.g. on dbt, built applications inside Snowflake, AI Agents, IoT, data modeling, and much more.

For Veikkaus, we organized a hackathon around AI Agents and how scattered data can be gathered and refined to support expert work in timely and intelligent manner. 

Your topic or theme could be anything, and here are just a few sample use cases: 

• AI agent exploration

• Citizen-centric data solutions

• Internal tool development

• Process automation.

FAQ

Q: Do we need technical skills to join? 

A: No, you do not need previous technical skills to partake in a hackathon. Before planning and customizing the perfect hackathon for your team, we will evaluate what your goals are and what outcomes you would like to reach. We will tailor your experience in accordance with your team's goals, functions, and skills - technical or otherwise. 

Q: Can we do this remotely?

A: It is possible to organize a hackathon remotely, however in our experience, you will have the best experience when your whole team, as well as the hackathon facilitators (Recordly's team) are in the same room. 

Q: What if we don't know our challenge to focus on yet?

A: No worries. Before we plan a hackathon for you, we will have a discovery call where we go through the possible use cases that suit your team and decide what topic to focus on in order for you to get the most out of the hackathon. You can book a non-binding discovery call here.
