What you need to know about VGI CHALLENGE:

The VGI Challenge works in a similar way to a hackathon. Geeks, techies, designers, digital nomads and creative minds come together to find innovative solutions to a specific topic in small teams. There are no limits to diversity – any student who wants to be part of something big is welcome. While you normally only have 48 hours to complete a challenge at a hackathon, we give you a whole week.

Here’s how it works:

● At the kick-off event on 08 November, all three VGI challenges regarding the public transport in Ingolstadt will be presented to you in detail. You can then choose one of them – as well as the team you would like to work on the challenge with. The teams should have a size of 3-5 participants each.

● After the kick-off event, you will be given the opportunity to work on your challenge within a week – until the following Friday. During this time, you can work from whereever you want but also rooms at the THI will be available to you  – as will our team for any queries regarding your challenge.

● On 15 November, all participants will meet again at Reimanns to present their solution. A jury will then select their favourites from all the pitches. You will have the opportunity to win up to €10,000 (total price money).
