If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to a mentor or organizer anytime. Here’s who does what 👇

👨‍💻 Challenge Mentors

They’ll support you by:

• clarifying and explaining the mentor‑provided challenge
• guiding you on functional aspects (what to build, how it should work, and which directions to explore)
• ensuring your solution stays aligned with the challenge intent

Mentors by challenge area:

• ⚡ Energy challenges: Rene ten Hove
• 🏥 Healthcare challenges: Fred Kwakkel

Their goal is to help you deeply understand the challenge and elevate your solution.

Judges:

• Dragoș Metea
