17.10.2024


Skyeton is proud to partner with the IV National Engineering Hackathon SmaRTF, organized by Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This year’s hackathon invites participants to develop smart military electronics aimed at supporting Ukraine’s defense. The categories include:

  • Defense

  • Offense

  • Reconnaissance

  • Rescue

  • Security

  • Training/educational systems for the military

As one of the main partners of the event, Skyeton will contribute in several ways:

  • Our CEO, Roman Knyazhanko, will deliver an opening speech to the participants.

  • Yevhenii Kharkov, our systems engineer, will serve as a mentor, guiding teams through their development process.

  • Dmytro Utva, our CTO, will be part of the jury for evaluating the final prototypes.

The competition will be held in two stages:

  1. First stage (October 18-20): Teams will work online over two days to solve a challenge within their category and present their project. Five top teams will move to the next stage.

  2. Second stage (December 14): The finalist teams will create and present functional prototypes to demonstrate the viability of their solutions. The final presentations will be held offline.

The winning team will receive a $2,000 cash prize and additional rewards from the hackathon’s partners.
