The 'Hackathon' is a compound word of 'Hacking' and 'Marathon,' designed to encourage students to identify problems themselves, share ideas, and come up with solutions.

The city recruited participating clubs in May, with a total of 29 student clubs from 16 schools applying, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 6 high schools. This year's competition themes were selected as 'Implementing Future Osan Symbols with Artificial Intelligence (AI)' for the elementary division, and 'Exploring Future Osan Development Plans through Public Data Analysis' for the middle and high school divisions.

To support this, the city actively provided public data from the Public Data Portal, as well as Osan City's public data such as foot traffic and parking lot entry and exit information at major locations in Osan.

Lee Kwon-jae, Mayor of Osan City, said, "We will continue to promote the idea hackathon competition where students combine their brilliant ideas with digital technologies such as AI and big data to find answers on their own."
