About our Hackathons
What is a Hackathon anyway?
A Hackathon is a programming marathon, where teams of 2-4 put their ideas together to create something exciting in only 24 hours. It gives teams of hackers a chance to turn their ideas into reality and present them.
There will be a number of prizes for using specific technologies as well as the overall best project. There will be additional prize pools available exclusively to first-timers!

Can I attend?
To attend as a hacker, you must be in full-time education (e.g. University, college) or have finished in the past year. We have no other requirements!
We welcome attendees from all disciplines as we strongly believe Hackathon projects require skills beyond just technical - benefiting from skills such as design, entrepreneurship and overall creativity.

Upcoming Events

This offers an excellent platform for our students to create ties with businesses while at University and get a good foothold for when looking for placements.
