Report on RTVE: <https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/la-aventura-del-saber/aventura-del-saber-digieduhack/7038580/>

The Universitat Jaume I in Castelló has hosted EduHackFest, a hackathon on education and innovation promoted by the UJI through the Horizon Europe e-DIPLOMA project and coordinated by the Institute of New Image Technologies (INIT). The Roboman team won the “Best Solution” award with its Adam Chat prototype, which stood out for its innovative approach to education. The award for “Best Gamification” went to the TimeLoop group for its Vidir platform, a project that has managed to integrate game elements into learning. These projects show significant advances in education technology.

“The types of cross-disciplinary competences and skills acquired in this kind of activity are then highly valued from a professional point of view,” said David Cabedo, Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Science Outreach at the UJI, at the opening of the event. EduHackFest is part of the European Commission's DigiEduHack initiative, a movement that aims to promote innovation, cooperation and creativity, and close the gap between emerging technology and education to provide solutions to current and future challenges. The winners of EduHackFest will be eligible for the €5000 prize in the European final.

The teams taking part in EduHackFest were made up of university and vocational training students, research staff, education professionals, innovators and digital education enthusiasts, who competed to design training modules with cutting-edge applications that can be integrated into e-learning platforms, such as learning management systems (LMS) and learning experience platforms (LXP). The jury assessing the competition designs consisted of Inmaculada Remolar, holder of a PhD in Computer Science and director of the Institute of New Image Technologies, Gustavo Casañ, with a PhD in Computer Science, and Laura Menéndez Monzonís, a specialist in innovation projects , all of them from the UJI.

While the 24-hour competition was going on, EduHackFest also included various activities, such as workshops, tests of emerging technologies and the presentation of innovative projects. The outstanding training workshops were “Unlock your Creativity”, given by Elena Mulet, a lecturer in design methods at the UJI; a workshop on prototyping software by the company Figma; and the workshop on Edison Desk software taught by the INIT researcher Águeda Gómez. Elena Shliakhovchuk, an expert in game-based learning, gave a workshop on gamification in the education of the future. Communication experts Anna Tolosa and Raquel Adanero, from EuroFUE-UJI, led the session on how to make impactful presentations.

This activity was carried out as part of the Horizon Europe e-DIPLOMA project, intended to improve the distance learning ecosystem by making use of Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning/Deep Learning), interactive technologies, chatbots and gamification on a new e-learning platform. The hackathon was also sponsored by Facsa and 480, and organised in collaboration with Brainstorm, INIT, e-DIPLOMA and the UJI.
