  • The Faculty of Engineering’s Annual Hackathon is Almost Here!

    The Faculty of Engineering’s Annual Hackathon is Almost Here!

    The Faculty of Engineering’s third annual hackathon will be held this June, and for the first time ever, it will be in collaboration with the IDF. “Two of our organizers this year, Daniel Rabinek and myself, served in the military together at the Engineering Corps’ Special Operations Force (Yahalom),” shares Ofek Eldar (28), a third-year electrical engineering student in the nano-electronics and signal processing track. “When we were brainstorming ideas for this year’s hackathon, we thought about doing something with Yahalom; bringing together the operational aspect—the combat soldiers—and the technological aspect, computer, and electrical engineering students. Luckily, the idea was welcomed with quite the enthusiasm. Both Yahalom and the Faculty of Engineering did more than their share to make it happen.”
