Previous hackathons
"The most emotional event I have ever participated in" is the sentence that has been repeated again and again in previous hackathons, in which sparks were ignited, and dozens of entrepreneurs, mentors, participants, and sponsors who took part in them would attest to it. There was something special at those hackathons, something that drove our Holocaust survivors guests to tell us "You can’t imagine what you've done here for us."
This year we invite you to join us for a third hackathon, to do something different and be a partner to an event that creates a true impact on this important subject and touches the hearts of us all.
Event goals
Being part of a nation-wide impact
We are here, we do not forget, and we do our part in a practical and valuable way.
Creating products, services, activities, campaigns, and any project that aims to address a broad range of challenges in education, commemoration, and improving the quality of life for Holocaust survivors.
