Hack Zurich is the largest hackathon organized so far in Switzerland. It envolved more than 300 young tech enthusiasts from all over Europe that came to Zurich for a weekend of creating and learning. Organized in 101 teams, the participants created web, mobile, or hardware applications during a 40 hours non-stop hacking marathon.

Minoropus developed their idea as a video game with the main goal to engage kids in thinking like a computer scientist by playfully introducing them to the concepts with a goal driven competitive game. The demonstration of the project can be seen in the following youtube clip.
Hoping in a further development of these kind of hackathons in Switzerland, we congratulate our team for their courage, energy and passion!
