That’s right, you’ve read it correctly. Split’s fabulous social hackathon Hack4Split is looking for you – especially if you are a programmer or a designer!

If you’re not familiar with Hack4Split, allow us to let you know what this hackathon is all about. Hack4Split is a two-day competition aimed at solving social problems and designing social innovations. It brings together individuals with specific knowledge, regardless of education and occupation, who find solutions to problems in their local community, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The competition aims to encourage young people to become active members of their community, to get acquainted with the needs and problems in their community and environment, as well as engage in solving them.

The 5th edition of Hack4Split will be held on April 9th and 10th at the SPINIT Incubator.

Important to note is that this competition is organized by Entrepreneurship Center Split and Student Business Incubator of the Faculty of Economics, while the organizers are partnered by Ensoco, Digital Nomad Associaton Croatia, and Split Tech City. This hackathon is also a part of a project funded by the European Solidarity Force and the Central State Office for Demography and Youth.
