    The mentors helped us to improve our perspective first of all. They gave us different approaches to solving these complex problems because building a multiagent system is not something that you can grasp at first.

    Participant Team Spenders

    My team and I chose an AI hackathon because right now it is the most used technology. It’s taking beginners jobs and we thought that we should make it work for us. It’s the moment that we need to learn how to use this new technology used in the market that is for sure going to overtake everything else.

    Communication is key in everything and we made a very good plan to finish within time. Everything went well this time at this hackathon.

    Participant Participant

    We’ve learned a lot of new things that maybe we couldn't have had the chance to learn if we didn't participate in the hackathon. It showed us how to handle stressful situations because not everything was right from the beginning and this showed that we are very powerful people that can handle our emotions and that can work and get good together.

    It was a lot of brainstorming and coding around the usage of AI that is a domain in which we are very much interested in at Raiffaisen. It was a good experience and a good opportunity also for us, but also for the students to put in practice the newest technologies around AI.
