INFORMATIJADA 2014

April 08, 2014

 

Informatijada (A wordplay consisted of the words ‘information’, as in information technology and ‘Olympics’, similar to Hackathon) was a four-day international event for students which took place at Hotel Desaret in Ohrid, from the 8th through the 12th of October in 2014. The Infromatijada was an educational event, with a competitive part with the aim to promote innovation and innovativeness in students.

The participants had the opportunity to improve their skills, learn new things, brainstorm ideas and work on their realization. Competitions were held in three categories: programming, sports, and cyber games. Competitors had a chance to compete and prove their worth in each of the categories, but also make new friends and have fun.
