2024 marked the second in-person edition of ESF’s annual computer science conference after the pause that enveloped the world in 2019. This year, a spirited team of nine visionaries from five ESF schools embarked on a rollercoaster journey spanning six months, a tale they wove with threads of perseverance, devotion, and unwavering zeal to craft a timeless day for both themselves and a gathering of eager participants.
At the core of this exceptional event resided a humble yet daring aspiration: to nurture love for computer science and its diverse branches, fostering a breathtaking synergy of wisdom and inspiration. They undertook a path that was anything but ordinary, connecting with over a hundred companies and conducting a meticulous selection process that culminated in twenty carefully curated workshops spanning a tapestry of subjects - from the realms of artificial intelligence to the horizons of machine learning - each tailored to embrace a varied audience with diverse levels of expertise.
The pinnacle of the occasion, the Hackathon, stood as a dazzling spectacle of innovation and creativity. With delicate precision and eager minds, six impassioned teams engaged in a spirited contest of intellect, addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, each striving to captivate a panel of judges with their fascinating solutions to pressing global challenges.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the final moments of the conference in a warm, golden light, a thunderous applause swept through the room as the team bid their farewells. Reflecting on the whirlwind of events, they marveled at how swiftly it had all unfolded. Despite the bittersweet goodbyes, a palpable sense of pride and accomplishment filled the air. The team had achieved their goal: to ignite a deep passion for computer science within a diverse gathering of over one hundred individuals. Amid shared discoveries and personal growth, they reveled in the joy of a journey both enchanting and enlightening.
