About the makeathon
We at TUM.ai are thrilled to have you on board and can't wait to hear what you and your team come up with! 🚀
The Makeathon is a 3-day hackathon for motivated students and young professionals to develop innovative AI solutions on real-world business cases presented by industry leaders. Innovators of tomorrow work together in interdisciplinary teams to develop a prototype for challenges centred around the theme of AI for everyone. As Germany's leading AI student initiative, we drive positive social impact through interdisciplinary projects. The Makeathon seeks to achieve this by providing talks of leading industry speakers, hands-on challenges, networking opportunities with like-minded people, industry leaders, start-ups and research organizations. This year's Makeathon is in-person on TUM's campus in Munich during the last week of April. We invite you to explore the possibilities of AI and create innovative solutions that can positively impact everyone.
