HACKATHON 2021 - FIRST ONLINE MATF HACKATHON
Students of Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Pavle Šoškić, Nikola Maksić, Marko Skakun, and Đordje Marjanović, members of the "Tarabići" team, are the winners of the first hackathon organized by the Student Union of Mathematicians "SUM", which operates at the Faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade. In just 24 hours, using current pollution values and current meteorological data coming from local measuring stations, they created an application that predicts air pollution for up to 10 days and thus won a prize of 100,000 dinars and a paid internship at Endava. This year's hackathon was attended by 10 teams from five technical faculties.
The topic of the hackathon puts the current problem of air pollution in the center, and the students had the task to enable predictions of the value of its quality on the basis of meteorological and specific, derived parameters. Competitors presented new, interesting, and original software that can contribute to the solution of this long-lasting problem.
The second place and the award of 60,000 dinars went to the "Crveno pivo" team consisting of students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade and the Faculty of Sciences in Novi Sad, while the third-placed "Flamungosi" students of the Faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade won the prize of 40,000 dinars.
More than 200 participants, divided into 61 teams, applied for the SUM hackathon, to reach the top 10 after the qualification phase. The goal of the competition was to connect students throughout Serbia and enable them to test their skills and knowledge, while acquiring great experience in their future training and career development towards IT development. The competition was organized thanks to the significant support of IT companies operating in the domestic market - Endava, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Sedecom, as well as numerous natural partners of the project.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The MATF hackathon is open to all students and high school students who are interested in programming, as well as developers with a maximum of one year of experience. Competitors apply in teams of 3 or 4 members. Each member must apply separately. Competitors do not have to be from the same faculty (or the same high school). Also, competitors who do not have their teams can apply individually, so SUM members will join individual competitors into teams.
The competition days will consist of three parts: the introductory part, the competition part and the final part. In the introductory part, the contestants will be introduced to the sponsors of the competition, the jury and will receive precise information on the topic and what is expected of them. The competition part lasts 24 hours and during that period the competitors develop their solution, as well as the presentation of their solution. Each team will have two consultations with the jury during the competition lasting 10-15 minutes. In the final part, the contestants present their solutions to the jury, other contestants and all interested observers. After the presentations, the jury will make a decision on the winners of the competition within an hour.
We have provided valuable prizes for the best competitors!
1st place - a prize worth 100,000 dinars
2nd place - a prize worth 60,000 dinars

Also, all contestants will receive gift packages from our sponsors.
The jury consists of representative of the sponsors, a faculty professor and one member of the Student Union of Mathematicians "SUM".
After completion of applications, the areas of programming from which the subject will be assigned will be known. The subject of the hackathon will be known only on the day of the competition. The task will be adapted to the material being processed at the faculties and the time that the competitors have at their disposal.
