Come as you are to Hackathon Weekend 2026
Ready to challenge yourself, meet ambitious students, and compete for 20,000 NOK?
We are very excited to invite fellow students from BI, UiO, OsloMet, and Kristiania to come together to form teams (3–5 people) and solve real-world challenges within Calm Technology or Health Tech.
What is Calm Technology?
We live in a world of constant pings and notifications competing for our attention. Calm Technology is a design philosophy that pushes back, building tech that informs without overwhelming, and fades into the background when you don't need it.
This challenge invites you to rethink how we build products that respect people's time, focus, and wellbeing.
Create your dream team at our team merging on friday. Through a guided team-matching session brought to you by Sjarm Social, you’ll meet students across schools and fields to build a strong, diverse team before the hacking begins.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll get access to mentors, a crash course in Design Thinking, dedicated workspace, food and refreshments and..
The opportunity to win the grand prize of 20,000 NOK!
Whether you’re into tech, business, design, journalism, psychology, health (or something completely else) your skills are valuable.
