What happens when Deutsche Bank, Salesforce and 35 passionate international talents from universities across Germany come together? You create an innovative space to learn and develop new ideas and solutions. This is exactly what happened during a two-day Hack<\/s>Techathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this event was to inspire students to embark on their digital career journeys, to give them the chance to explore different technologies, to collaborate in diverse teams, to learn about various internship and graduate roles opportunities at Deutsche Bank<\/a> and to explore the Salesforce Talent Ecosystem<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use-case? Different teams competed to solve the following challenge: Where and with what impact would it be the most efficient to build a parking garage to avoid parking tickets and other parking issues?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How? Python was used to analyse datasets containing parking violations and Tableau to visualise the results. But let\u2019s start from the beginning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Techathon kicked off in no other location than the Deutsche Bank headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. The participants could nearly touch the sky as they were welcomed to the 38th floor by the Deutsche Bank Graduate Recruiting team, Salesforce representatives, and Python and Tableau experts. After the Deutsche Bank Senior Manager welcomed the talents, kickstarted the event and an ice-breaker session took place, the teams were set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, during a discussion panel, employees of Deutsche Bank shared their work experiences on what it is\/was like being a working student or graduate at Deutsche Bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a healthy lunch mixed with connecting and networking, the students dived into the use case and directly started working on a solution by answering questions such as: How to best approach the challenge? How to analyse the data sets and interpret the output? Day 1 ended with exhausted yet energised faces and a great networking dinner to re-energize.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
