A three-day hackathon held from 15 to 17 November 2019 in the Aula Magna of the [USI](https://www.usi.ch) campus in Lugano, organized by [CodeLounge](https://codelounge.si.usi.ch), the research and development group of the [Software Institute](https://si.usi.ch), with the support of [Ated4Kids](https://www.ated.ch/progetto_ated4kids.php) and [Lugano Living Lab](https://luganolivinglab.ch).
