This weekend we're hosting the Terrible Ideas Hackathon! The Terrible Ideas Hackathon is a two day event challenging you to take the worst ideas from the crevices of your mind and bringing them to reality. It's a weekend to stretch your creative muscles, and a chance to make something with friends. Past projects have included a three-seater motorised mobility couch, clip on bike jandals, and a kettle with ad breaks.

⏰ Friday @ 6pm till Sunday @ 6pm (not overnight)
🗺️ Location: B201 Foyer
🍕 Dinner provided on Friday night
🎟️ Registration required (FREE!)
🏘️ Open to students, staff, and public

If the idea sucks, we want to see it happen!

Like most hackathons, you'll come together on Friday night to form a team, spend Saturday working on your project, and Sunday finishing things off. Unlike most hackathons, it's your chance to go wild. Make something to celebrate all the best"worst ideas" worst ideas you've had, and share it with a hundred other people doing the same!

Projects in the past have spanned the digital, physical, and hybrid spaces - what you make of the weekend is up to you.
