A hackathon powered by design thinking
What is dash hack?
Dash Hack is a weekend-long design thinking hackathon for multidisciplinary teams to tackle problems provided by our partner companies.
During the hackathon, participants learn how to solve problems by applying design thinking methods, gaining experience from solving real-life cases from versatile companies, and networking with our partner companies. And, of course, the winning team is awarded!
