Chatathon Virtual Living Lab is a hands-on, creative learning format where small teams of students collaboratively design and build simple chatbots to solve real-life professional challenges. It combines hackathon principles with a non-competitive, learning-by-doing approach, focusing on teamwork, creativity, and practical digital skills. Participants work with visual tools to map chatbot logic, use AI support to turn ideas into functional code, and test their solutions online, resulting in a working chatbot prototype and a documented project outcome
