What are the problems that we will work on?
At the Hackathon, you will be presented with real-world problems shared by industry experts. These will take place on Day 1 of the Hackathon (7 April 2025). You will then have a few days (Day 2-4) to work in a team to provide a solution for your chosen problem. You will present your solutions on Day 5 (11 April 2025).
What solutions do we have to produce?
What solutions do we have to produce?
You will work in a team to provide a solution for the problems. Your solutions can be of any type - whether a data-driven solution (e.g. dataset analysis, visualisations or web application) or a design-based solution (e.g. prototype of a mobile app, redesigning paper tickets). The only thing that matters is your creativity, collaborative spirit and problem-solving skills!

Whilst you can bring some friends who you would like to work with, we also encourage you to get to know other students from different disciplines at the event and include them in your team.
