The event marked the culmination of work developed throughout the academic year using the design thinking methodology, which fosters creativity and problem-solving skills.

Mayor Adam Tomàs highlighted the initiative's importance in raising students' awareness of their capacity to provide solutions to everyday problems and in connecting educational institutions with the city's social reality. He praised the FabLab Terres de l’Ebre, the only public digital fabrication laboratory in Spain, and the choice of La Perla as the venue, contributing to nurturing emerging talent in the region.

The director of FabLab Terres de l’Ebre, Lala Escrivà, explained that the hackathon concludes the year's work, where the two most outstanding proposals from each school advanced to the final. She thanked the local business community, including companies like Cartodelta, Ubaldo Rètols, and Recycling System, for their collaboration.

The challenge presented to participants was to devise a solution to help elderly people put on their shoes without bending over. Students designed and prototyped innovative proposals combining creativity and technology. Escrivà noted that the challenge's proximity to the students' own experiences with their grandparents significantly boosted their creativity.

The winning proposal came from the team “Robotitos” from Carmelites d’Amposta. Their project, inspired by a vacuum cleaner robot, incorporated voice sensors, robotics, and automated gripping systems to facilitate shoe placement, earning praise for its originality and practical application.
