Hackathon Tallinn 2026

Hackathon Tallinn 2026

Five days, one team, real challenges from the world of software modernization – all in Tallinn. At the itestra Hackathon, you’ll work alongside other CS students on real tasks from our enterprise projects. No simulations, no lectures: you write code, analyze existing systems, and build solutions that work in practice.

When: April 14–18, 2026 Where: Tallinn, Estonia Who: CS students (Bachelor & Master) Cost: None – itestra covers travel, accommodation, and meals.

What to Expect

• Real modernization projects – You’ll work on tasks taken directly from our project work: code analysis, refactoring, migration, or prototyping new solutions.
• Teamwork with itestra engineers – Our experienced software engineers work alongside you. You’ll get direct feedback and learn the methods we use with 90+ enterprise clients.
• Broad technology exposure – Depending on the task, you’ll work with Java, Python, TypeScript, or other languages – plus tools for static analysis, AI-assisted code assessment, or cloud deployment.
• Explore Tallinn – Beyond the work, there’s time to explore one of Europe’s most exciting tech cities. Evening activities and group outings are part of the program.
• Build connections – Meet other ambitious students and get to know itestra as an employer firsthand.

What You Should Bring

• Currently enrolled in a CS degree program (Bachelor or Master) or a comparable field
• Solid programming skills in at least one language (Java, Python, C#, TypeScript, or similar)
• Interest in software quality, code analysis, or modernization – prior experience is a plus but not required
