CSE club is one of the largest scientific clubs in Algeria. Working since 2008, our main goal is to offer original and innovative content throughout our hackathons, workshops, training and social media.
Hack !T is the first hackathon organized in Algeria by students. It was organized in two editions, the first in 2017 and the second in 2018. This concept was introduced by CSE in order to stimulate innovation within the student community and develop IT solutions to solve the various problems posed during a whole weekend.
The second and most recent edition of Hack !T was held from April 26th to the 28th at the Higher National School of Computer Science in Algiers, gathering approximately 100 participants, all from different Algerian universities and colleges with different specialties and coaches to assist the teams in completing their projects. It also hosted different workshops and trainings under the theme Algiers Smart City for the participants.

We created Hack !T to support the Algerian tech ecosystem growth, give the youth a chance to unleash their creativity, stimulate their innovation and showcase their talent to the community.
The ultimate goal was pushing people to search for problems, propose measurable impactful solutions, and develop new ideas.
Hack !T was an opportunity to leverage students’ experience, to build valuable relationships and to enjoy our time at ESI.

Hack !T was "the" event for our generation, we were the youngest bureau at our time, so succeeding in the organization of an event that big was really something.
I’ll always remember and cherish the nights we spent at the school, making memories and just bonding with each other.

The best part about Hack !T was the energy displayed by the participants and the good vibes that reigned the atmosphere. It was amazing seeing the sparkle in their eyes as they tirelessly work to make their creative projects see light.

Hack !T is a great experience in which you’ll learn how to work in a team and deal with high pressure moments. It is also an occasion to meet new people, share knowledge, opinions, and have lots of fun. Definitely not to be missed!

Strategic planning, thoughtful organization, and good logistics are what make a participant satisfied with an event. That's why Hack !T was so special; every hacker was fully satisfied.
