3.4 Talks/Guest Speakers
In the opening night of the event, three invited speakers presented three important
topics (one on the residuals to be used in the projects, one on social entrepreneurship and the third on the pillars of sustainability and the roots for achieving a
circular economy) in order to make it clear the motivation, values and goals of
the hackathon. In the night of the second day of the event, two speakers talked about
social responsibility in a 4.0 Planet.
3.5 Technical and Scientific Support
Three teachers acted as mentors (focusing on sustainable processes/products, and
highlighting the values and attitudes needed for a sustainable society) and companies’
representatives gave technical support to participants during the project’s development. Social media (Instagram and Twitter) was used to post updates, event photos,
and all outcomes. Popular voting (for the best team name and best project) was done
through the SEEDS Instagram (@nucleo.seeds). Opening and closing ceremonies, as
well as all talks, were held in the auditorium and video recorded with a professional
camera. All three days of the event were recorded with cell phones.

with: four open questions: (1) the motives for engaging in the hackathon; (2) what
were the expectations; (3) the strong aspects of the event; (4) the weak aspects of the
event. A question (5) where they should evaluate the event expectations (below the
expectations/reached the expectations/above the expectations); and (6) either or not
they would attend a future Sustainability Hackathon (yes/no/I do not know). Seven
questions where, on a scale varying from 0 to 10, they should rate: (7) the talks they
