Hackathon Sign AI 2026 – Innovation, Technology, and Passion
Hackathon Sign AI Gdańsk 2026 has successfully concluded – an event that brought together young enthusiasts of technology, artificial intelligence, and electronics from across Poland.
Participants were challenged to propose and develop a project aligned with one of the key themes:
- Edge AI improves life
- BIO wellbeing
- Wearable electronics
Participants worked on the STM32 Nucleo-64 platform using MEMS sensors provided by STMicroelectronics.
A total of 68 teams applied for the competition, of which the top 20 qualified for the finals. Prior to the event, all participants had the opportunity to attend specialized training sessions. During the hackathon, companies and organizations such as STMicroelectronics, AREX, SpaceForest, XY Sensing, and Invest in Pomerania showcased their solutions and opportunities.
It was a time of intensive work, knowledge exchange, and idea development—where creativity met cutting-edge technology, and passion translated into real, innovative projects. The level of the submitted solutions was truly impressive.
After presentations and deliberations, the jury selected the winning teams:
🥇 1st Place – KNRDSP2 Team (Warsaw University of Technology)
The winning project, “Shiva”, is an intelligent wearable device that enables people with neurological disorders to control IoT devices using gestures. By leveraging Edge AI, the system operates directly on the microcontroller, ensuring fast response times and enhanced privacy.
The solution combines all three competition themes, offering real support in everyday life for people with disabilities.
🥈 2nd Place – Z.O.O. z 551 Team (Gdańsk University of Technology)
The “Awearnes Hat” project is an intelligent hat that detects obstacles in front of the user. The system uses distance sensors and audio signals to warn about potential hazards.
This solution can be applied both in everyday use for smartphone users and in assisting visually impaired individuals.
🥉 3rd Place – Wrocławski Chwyt Team (Wrocław University of Science and Technology)
The “Blind Hold” project is a smart bracelet supporting climbing for visually impaired individuals. Through haptic vibration signals, users receive guidance on the next holds, enabling safe and independent climbing.
This innovative approach demonstrates how technology can break barriers and open new possibilities.
Hackathon Sign AI Gdańsk 2026 clearly demonstrated the great potential of young creators in Poland and highlighted the growing importance of technologies such as Edge AI and wearable electronics. The event not only promoted innovation but also showed how technology can genuinely improve quality of life.
It was 24 hours full of creativity, collaboration, and inspiration—and the outcomes may lead to real-world solutions that shape the future.
