Don’t be mistaken. We don’t recommend doing it at home. We advise having a number of colleagues around you, strong support stemming from food and drinks. And on top of that, we suggest you create your project with us (how about joining us?).

Summer Hack Day – no limits!
The idea of a Hack Day is always the same – let’s meet, let’s code, let’s present, and then let’s win. Hold on! Where is all the FUN? That was the question we asked at the very beginning, when drafting the first idea for this Hack Day. And it got clear – this time there would be no limits in subjects! What else? A LAN party seemed to be the answer.
It all started on Wednesday morning. All participants could code on whatever subject they wished. They were powered by loads of carbs (pizza, pasta, cookies) and stayed hydrated by the beverages they needed. The outcome surpassed all expectations! And it’s not only the fact that by Thursday morning we got 23 projects. It was also the level of what we were presented with.
And the winner is…
Just before we tell you who won and you judge it yourself, have a look at some of the 23 creative ideas developed during these 24 hours.

At Schibsted Tech Polska we like sport. In particular, we value Foosball 😀 With this application it is now possible to know the availability of the table! It indicates when it’s taken, so you don’t need to rush to the room. Not only does it tell you when it’s free. The app will also help yo find the missing fourth team-mate!
Team: Łukasz Tlałka, Małgorzata Gadzała
And finally, the winner: Next Gen Foosball
Yes, we do like Foosball 😉 But that is not the only reason for this victory. Have a look at this video and you will know it all. This table comments on every goal! Moreover, the sensors connected to its sockets send the results to the large screen, allowing each player to see the timeline of the goals. Fun, entertaining and great!
