Coming up on the 7th edition, Shift APPens is a Hackathon organized with love by by NEI/AAC (Informatics Students Nucleus from Academic Association of Coimbra) and by jeKnowledge (Faculty of Sciences and Technology of University of Coimbra’s junior company), that brings students and workers from all over the country to the city of Coimbra.

Participants have 48 hours to create an application, defending it in a final pitch, in front of a carefully chosen jury. We aim to promote a healthy competition and exchange knowledge from the tech world amongst the participants, all in a relaxed environment. We gather developers, designers and entrepreneurs of different technological fields, from every corner of the country.

We can promise you fun, competition, challenges and friendships! If you have never participated, come join us! We are much more than a Hackathon, do you really want to miss it?

After 2020’s edition being cancelled due to the pandemic, we’re back in 2021, and this time nothing can stop us to go all the way until the end!

To guarantee the security of all those involved in the event, our 7th edition is going to be online. This year’s Hackathon will be a special one! You can participate from the comfort of your house, so get excited and bring your best sweatpants! We’re preparing some fun things, so you won’t even notice you’re in your living room... Are you ready? We’re counting on you!
