❄️🔥 ACDC 2026: Taking the hackathon outdoors! 🔥❄️

After long hours of intense hacking, problem-solving, and creative focus, we took a well deserved break and headed outside for some fresh air and fun ❄️
Despite temperatures dropping below –7°C, the energy was high as teams competed (and laughed!) through activities like: Mikado, Building the highest tower using logs, Archery and several other outdoor challenges.

Cold hands, warm smiles, and a great reminder that ACDC is just as much about community and experience as it is about tech 💙

Huge thanks to everyone who embraced the cold and made it such a memorable part of the event!
