2nd Edition of the EUhackathon: Hack4Kids [20-21 June, 2012]

The 2nd edition of the EUhackathon revolved around two challenges, namely creating tools to enhance the safety of kids online on the one hand, and to stimulate their creativity on the other hand, and took place on 20-21 June 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. After 30 hours of intense coding with only a 4-hour break, it was time for our 37 coders of 11 nationalities to hear from the jury who had won the first prize for the challenge.  This was done in the European Parliament – prizes being notably handed over by MEP Sabine Verheyen, MEP Róża Maria Gräfin von Thun und Hohenstein, MEP Sean Kelly and Petru Luhan – Vice-President Neelie Kroes having dropped by on 20 June to discuss their respective projects with the hackers.
