Kuwait Hackathon 2019 was held under the auspices of His Highness Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah Informatics Award and in cooperation between Hemma Tech Accelerator and the Kuwait Innovation Center, with the participation of 105 students divided in 26 teams from 7 different universities. These universities
participated in 3 different courses.


A number of universities participated in each course that lasted for 4 days, during which male and female students gathered inside the Kuwait Innovation Center. These courses were supervised by a group of experts in the field of development, programming, and mechanical engineering, who helped the participants throughout the different stages of work, starting with the stage of brainstorming that aimed at guiding the participants to choose ideas that help in the development and growth of the environment surrounding us; then managing ideas to become economically feasible, and later converting these ideas into tangible innovations to become independent projects in the next stage.
