Why tyntec loves hackathons? We love how traditional tried-and-true tech such as SMS texting can spark fresh new ideas and applications. That’s how we built our own business anyway. Furthermore, when it comes to Female Tech Leaders Hackathon, it’s doubly special!! You see, tyntec is a female-led tech company! Yes, we’re one of those rare outliers with a female CEO. Need we say more? (Didn’t think so).

Traveling is more fun when done with friends. At Holidu, friendship and community are important to us as well, so we would love to hear your ideas for new social search functions. This is the first challenge for you in this Hackathon. We define “social search” as searching for and booking vacation rentals together in a group.

Our “Getting Started with Machine Learning” Hackathon, hosted at Experteer, aims at engaging participants in an intense, two-night event, where teams of four dive into pattern prediction and problem solving. If you’re interested in coding together and learning by doing, or if you’re a seasoned ML guru who wants to contribute, apply today to be a participant or a mentor!
