BaselHack 2026 | Challenge Workshop

In October 2026, BaselHack will take place for the tenth time: 130 hackers, 48 hours, and one intense weekend. Which challenges shine on Sunday almost always depends on a compelling pitch on Friday evening.

After nine years of BaselHack, we know what makes a strong challenge — and what matters most in that pitch. To make sure every challenge at our anniversary edition attracts interested hackers, we invite everyone who is submitting a challenge, or is still considering doing so, to join a focused workshop.

What you will get from the workshop

• Clarity on what makes a strong hackathon challenge
• Methods for using AI effectively to test, sharpen, and uncover weaknesses in your challenge
• The tools you need for a successful submission

Event details

• 📅 Wednesday, 17 June 2026, 14:00–16:30
• 📍 memox Basel SBB
• 🎯 Goal: A hackathon challenge no participant will want to miss
