Mobbeel Innovation ChallengeIII edition Cáceres

Bring an AIdea. Leave with a prototype.

It may not have a name yet. Or a shape. We don't even know if it exists. All you need is a challenge, a team and 9 hours to see what you can make of it.

the format

What is this all about?

A full day of intensive teamwork to solve one of our three challenges in an innovative way. Developers, entrepreneurs, creatives or simply the curious, no coding required.

You and your team pick the challenge, develop your AIdea and turn it into a prototype with the tools and resources we give you during the day. At the end of the day, you defend it.

And this year, there is a new way to compete.

See the three challenges

How it works

We start by explaining the three challenges and running a hands-on session to put the tools in your hands. Then you and your team decide which way to go, develop your AIdea and take it all the way to a prototype. Throughout the day, mentors move between tables to help you unblock whatever you need.

At the end, you present and defend what you have built.

For all levels

No coding needed. Come as a developer, entrepreneur, creative or simply as someone curious to try something new.

Goal

Create something that didn't exist yesterday.

Learn along the way, work as a team and discover how far an AIdea can go when you have a challenge, mentorship, the right tools and a few hours to build it.

Venue

Many great companies started in a garage. If Jobs and Wozniak pulled their little apple out of one, why not you?

See you at Garaje 2.0, opposite the Embarcadero building: Calle Santa Cristina 2, 10195, Cáceres. Bus line 8, stop 238 Santa Cristina.

Prizes

Three Amazon gift cards for the winning teams, rewarding the creativity, innovation and viability of the solution presented. The rules include the rubrics used to score each project.

Three challenges, pick one

Each challenge is broad territory, not a closed brief. Your team decides the angle, the use case and how far to take it. The problem is real, but how you tackle it is up to you.

frequently asked

What you always ask us

How can I take part?

Once the form is open, you sign up from this page and get all the info to prepare. You can register alone or with a team: if you come solo, we help you form a group at the start of the event.

Who can take part?

Students enrolled at an educational institution (vocational training, university or other official studies) and people who, after finishing their studies, are looking for their first job in the tech sector without having worked in it before.

People with a current employment relationship in the sector cannot take part, unless it is a curricular internship or a training grant linked to their school. You must be of legal age; under-18s can register through their school.

Can I invest in my own team?

No. You can invest in any AIdea except your own group's.

What if we don't finish the prototype?

That's fine. What matters is showing which problem you identified, how you chose to tackle it and how far you managed to take your AIdea.

Reasons to take part
  • You can develop your project and take it further.
  • You meet people who share your interests.
  • You solve a real challenge, not a classroom exercise.
  • You work as a team with a method that applies to everything.
  • Companies are watching.
What should I bring?

A laptop or tablet with connectivity, since you'll be using digital tools all day. A notebook if you take notes by hand. Plus creativity and a willingness to collaborate.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Taking part is free: we want anyone to be able to come and learn, whatever their situation.

Do I need a team to take part?

No. If you already have a team, you sign up together. If not, you register alone and we help you find a group at the start of the event. We want everyone to end up in a team they can work well with.

Minimum and maximum team size?

Between 5 and 6 people. Enough to share the work and few enough that nobody just watches.

What about food, water and coffee?

We make sure you're fuelled for the whole day: coffee, juice, pastries and catering at lunch. You're in good hands ?

How do I get to Garaje 2.0?

It's at Calle Santa Cristina, 10195 Aldea Moret, Cáceres. A former superphosphate warehouse restored as a space for innovation and entrepreneurship.

  • Bus: line 8 (Cáceres El Viejo - Sierra de San Pedro), stop 238 Santa Cristina (Av. Constitución junction).
  • Car: a few minutes from the centre, with parking next to the building.
  • On foot or by bike: 20 to 30 minutes from the centre.
