  • "An eye-opening event showcasing what can be achieved when a diversity of skills is applied to a focused problem...without any time to procrastinate"

    Location: Virtual Environment (Microsoft Teams)


    Rules & Good Practice:

    Be nice, work collegiately, help each other. We’ve all given up a weekend to be here.

    All teams retain ownership of whatever they have created during the Hackathon. You can choose to make your code available as open source to provide a way for other people sharing your vision to contribute to your project, however choosing to do so is entirely up to you.

    Hackathons are like marathons. Some people go to compete but most people take part to better themselves and have fun. Whatever the reason is you're at a hackathon, make sure you're upholding the hacker spirit by collaborating with other teams, helping beginners, and having fun.

    No discrimination, harassment, bullying or anything else that may impact your co-hackers.

    Have fun!


    Submission Deadline:

    Sunday 6pm GMT. Please Ensure your presentation video, code and data are all in a zip file when submitted
