On Tuesday, May 6, the Department of External Relations at the State University of Information and Communication Technologies (SUICT) organized TechForAll – an inter-university hackathon that united students from leading Ukrainian institutions, including the Lviv State University of Life Safety, Kropyvnytskyi Pedagogical University, Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and the State University of Information and Communication Technologies. The event served as a dynamic platform for showcasing innovative ideas and technological solutions.

Twelve teams participated in the hackathon, competing across four key areas: Software, IoT, Blockchain, and Game Development.

What set TechForAll apart was its format – participants arrived with fully developed projects prepared in advance. This allowed teams to focus on demonstrating the real-world application of their solutions, highlighting technical sophistication, engineering logic, and presentation skills rather than developing prototypes on-site.

Each team was given a limited time slot to present their product, explain its technical components, justify the choice of technologies, and demonstrate tangible results.

Projects were evaluated by an independent jury composed of industry experts from IT-Solutions, Monobank, XBTO International, and experienced developers working in the hackathon’s focus areas. All jury members are active professionals with deep expertise in modern IT practices, ensuring a thorough and objective evaluation of each submission.

The final results were as follows:

• 1st Place – YaCodeDev1
• 2nd Place – YaCodeDev2
• 3rd Place – Catnip Coders

A special award for Best Presentation was granted to GoFox for their clear, engaging, and persuasive pitch.

The event attracted not only developers but also students interested in startup culture, teamwork, and real-life applications of emerging technologies. Participants had the opportunity to interact with jury members, receive personalized feedback, and establish connections with representatives from tech companies.
