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.
Keen for a look at past hackathons? Watch the wrap reel from our event last October. As always, this event runs in Sydney, Auckland, and London. This Eventbrite is for the UNSW Sydney venue.
The hackathon lasts for 46 hours starting on Friday 6th March at 6pm. 'Pens-down' is Sunday 8th March 5pm. There will be a chance to showcase work and an awards ceremony too! Showcase exclusive tickets are also available Sunday 8th March 5pm - 6:30pm. The event space will be closed overnight Friday and Saturday.
We will have the MCIC makerspace 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!
What's a hackathon without food? Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided for all attendees!
This hackathon has been run globally in New Zealand, Sydney, and London with a huge amount of success. Visit https://terriblehack.com/ to see some previous terrible projects!
