Terrible Ideas Hackathon!

about this event

Terrible Ideas happen everywhere – from pottery to programming. This event is a challenge to create the most terrible, awful, brilliant ideas you can think of! From robot-driven tattoo guns and soleless Jandals to vegemite-flavoured fudge and a camera that only takes a photo when you're blinking, join us in a celebration of failure, creativity, and stupid, terrible decisions.

The hackathon lasts for 46 hours starting on Friday - 6pm. "Pens-down" is Sunday - 5pm. There will be a chance to showcase work and an awards ceremony too! Showcase exclusive tickets are also available Sunday - 5pm - 6:30pm. The event space will be closed overnight Friday and Saturday.

The MCIC makerspace will be available for building and the MCIC events space with tables and chairs for working on projects. If there is anything specific you'd like to use for your project feel free to bring it in! This could include laptops, art supplies, desktop PCs, tools, or electronics. Multi plugs and extension cords could be useful too.

Lunch and dinner will be provided for all attendees - the organisers aim to support all food requirements, but they invite you to BYO snacks, water bottles and anything else you need.

This hackathon has been run globally in New Zealand, Sydney, and London with a huge amount of success. This Eventbrite is for the UNSW Sydney venue. As always, this event runs in Sydney, Auckland, and London.
