The Arqus Hackathons, organised in October and November 2024, exemplified the collaborative spirit of the Living Labs. Participants from five universities developed solutions addressing AI literacy, societal engagement, and sustainability. The winning project, Human Library in a Virtual World, showcased an inclusive and innovative approach to digital storytelling, overcoming physical and geographical barriers. Inspired by the Hacking Innovative Pedagogies (HIP) project, the hackathon also promoted the use of virtual tools for creative problem-solving and interdisciplinary learning.
Each Hackathon provided a set of challenges which have been defined in collaboration with the representatives of the different participating universities. Participants got a chance to view the challenges, propose refinements or propose their challenges after this, they chose their favourite challenge to be working with.
