We know the winners of BIT Festival 2024
Last weekend in the X building of the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology, the 15th edition of BIT Festival 2024 took place. With over a hundred participants, a 24-hour competition and a fight for prizes.
BIT Festival 2024 is it event organized since 2009 at the Silesian University of Technology by the Gliwice Student Association “BEST”. The main part of the festival is the hackathon, which is a 24-hour programming contest.
Two categories were prepared for participants this year: Classic, in which the web or mobile application should be programmed, and Game Jam – in which teams had to prepare a game consisting of getting out of the loop.
“It’s a very general topic, so we knew we had room to show off. I had the opportunity to take part in this event. It is great, accompanied by a nice atmosphere. The real fun begins after several hours, when everyone shows the first signs of fatigue” - says Tomasz Korecki, a third-year computer science student at the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science of the Silesian University of Technology. – “We managed to get a great team together this year. We had some experience in similar projects before, so we wanted to test our skills”.
This year’s 15th edition attracted as many as 111 participants to the building X of the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology.
“They formed 30 teams, 15 for each category. Each of the teams had to consist of at least one student of the Silesian University of Technology” - explains Oliwia Gębala, coordinator for promotion at BIT Festival. In addition to many attractive prizes, discount vouchers, everyone had the opportunity to talk to our mentors. Representatives of industry companies also looked at the participants’ work. It was a chance to make great contacts.
