At the second edition of the German-Brazilian EdTech Hackathon, held from May 25 to 27, an innovative application project called SignLink was awarded, which enables the teaching of sign languages from different countries in a collaborative environment. The event, hosted by the University of Münster (WWU), re:edu, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin) and the Goethe-Institut São Paulo, was co-organized by the German House of Science and Innovation (DWIH) São Paulo.

The hackathon was open to a wide range of participants and brought together developers, designers, programmers, students, educators, teachers and public administration leaders, all with the goal of finding and proposing technological solutions to current challenges in digital education. There were more than 200 entries for the 2023 edition.

Second place went to the HomeoPATH team, which proposed the creation of "knowledge pills" for public transport passengers to provide them with relevant content about digital education during their journey.

Third place went to the T@TI - Talk About It project, which proposed a multimedia platform to combat and raise awareness about bullying in schools.

On YouTube, the presentation of the projects can be viewed in the aftermath.
