From 20 to 24 October 2025, more than 40 participants from NGT CMS, ATLAS, and other NGT work packages gathered at IdeaSquare for the second edition of the 



Next Generation Triggers Trigger Hackathon HiLumi Software Hardware Data Machine learning Collaboration

A hackathon to reconstruct the trajectories of particles in the CMS experiment

The 15th Patatrack Hackathon took place at IdeaSquare to focus on reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment.

Come to our Arduino workshops at IdeaSquare and learn how to use electronic tools for rapid prototyping

Using electronic tools for rapid prototyping, and programming for hardware projects and the big world of Internet-of-Things, is possible if you know how to interface an Arduino. This microcontroller board can represent diverse objects connected to the Internet, for example, traffic lights, air quality monitors, or presence detectors.
