The Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Latvia allows students to be creative at least twice a year by organizing a hackathon. This fall it happened online. Seven student teams were formed. The Student Deep Science Hackathon brought together students from a variety of university programs, allowing them to form interdisciplinary teams. Under the guidance of mentors, they developed innovative ideas related to STEM or four scientific disciplines - science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students' performance was evaluated by an experienced jury. Three of the most interesting ideas: a pillow that adjusts the surface temperature to make it comfortable for the sleeper; a conceptual solution to the problem of how to wake up in the morning and how to deal with a seemingly simple but at the same time very disturbing phenomenon - a hangover.
