WarwickHACK 2021 is a great opportunity to form a team of 1 to 4 people and see how in 24 hours ambition and passion, added with a pinch of creativity, can disrupt the world we live in. Our hackathon has no theme and is open to all university students - You do not need to have any coding experience! - For the first time, we will be running the event fully digitally!

Eligibility

We have workshops for all coding abilities. Any currently enrolled university student or recent graduate can join!

Submission Format:

Please create a GitHub account and link your repository. Inside your repository, please provide a README.md file with instructions on how to build, install, and use your project.

Inside your submission please provide:
