Group Testimony from Shreksperts

Participating in the Hackathon 2025 was a very unique and valuable experience for all of us. Our team worked during 24 hours without any doubt or desire to give up because it wasn't that different at the end. Of course, we had some issues, mostly about limited time, but we also find out that we can work well under pressure.

We really appreciate that we could meet new people from all of the world and exchange our thoughts with them. All of the participants were friendly and ready to take action! Because each person from our team had another worthy skill, we simply could connect them during the brainstorming process to make the best solutions. We used our experience and knowledge to manage it.

Throughout the hackathon, we discovered how important is listening carefully and be patient. Especially, when we are talking about collecting data process, that takes a lot of time, but if you will do it very conscientiously, you can learn a lot of new things and maybe even change your perspective. We learn a lot of information about how to manage work models and "fresh" 4 day work-week.

Although it was a journey full of emotions, both joy and frustration, we successfully reached our goal and completed the project just as we had envisioned. This experience showed us that even under challenging conditions such as fatigue,
technical issues, and time pressure, we are capable of working effectively and seeing things through to the end. Now, we just have to make sure we don't get used to leaving all our projects for the last 24 hours again!

We can highly recommend this edition of the Hackathon and hopefully see you next year :)

THREE WORDS: FOCUS - SUCCESS - CREATIVITY

Group Testimony from Team FlexMode 

The 24-hour HackOffice 2025 marathon was one of the most exhausting but rewarding experiences our team has ever had! When the clock started ticking, the positive stress kicked in and we started brainstorming our ideas to find the best theme for our project. Laptops were glowing through the night, and that incredible rush of building something meaningful together in such a short time was crazy. The sleep deprivation was real, but the determination to push further was stronger than we thought was possible.

We dove headfirst into the hybrid work challenge, testing our creativity, resilience, and teamwork in ways we never had before. The adrenaline of racing against the clock bonded us in ways ordinary projects never could. This wasn ́t just about solving problems, it was about challenging our way of thinking, turning caffeine-induced ideas into real solutions.

HackOffice 2025 reminded us why we love this stuff: The thrill of innovation, the joy of collaboration, and the unbeatable feeling of creating something that could actually change how people work. HackOffice 2025 pushed us in the best way possible, and it's something that will stick with us for a long time.

HackOffice wasn ́t just a test of skills, but it was a reminder of the power of purpose-driven teamwork. It gave us an idea of what we're capable of when passion and creativity collide. It's more than a project, it was a powerful learning experience that we'll carry into future challenges with more confidence and excitement.
