MECHATON AGH 2024 Successfully Completed! ✅
Congratulations to all award winners and participants. You can find the list of competition winners here: Competition Winners.
MECHATON AGH is a hackathon-style competition organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics. Its objective is to foster creativity and innovation among students and staff by engaging participants in team-based mechanical and robotics projects.
The event would not have been possible without the support of our partners. We encourage you to learn more about the participating companies and their activities: MECHATON 2024 Partners.
Gratulacje dla wszystkich nagrodzonych oraz uczestników – Laureaci konkursu.
Mechaton AGH to konkurs typu „hackaton” organizowany na wydziale Inżynierii Mechanicznej i Robotyki, którego celem jest rozwijanie kreatywności oraz innowacyjności wśród studentów i pracowników Wydziału poprzez pracę w grupie nad projektami mechanicznymi oraz robotycznymi.
Wydarzenie nie mogłoby się odbyć bez wsparcia naszych partnerów – zachęcam do zapoznania się z ofertą firm – Partnerzy Mechaton 2024

A New Level of Digitalization in Laboratory Classes – Grant Awarded Under the AGH IDUB Programme
Starting from the 2024/25 academic year, students will benefit from digital flipcharts and a modern consumption tracking system during laboratory classes. The implementation of these solutions has been made possible through Action 16 – Human Resources Policy Supporting the Development of Teaching Competencies, carried out under the Excellence Initiative – Research University (IDUB) programme at AGH University.
This project aims to enhance the quality of laboratory education by introducing modern digital tools that support both teaching and learning processes.
EC Engineering x AGH WIMiR Computer Simulation Hackathon
