Join us for AdaHack 2024 - a 12-hour hackathon in honour of Mathematician Ada Lovelace! The theme this year is EDUCATION. Anyone is welcome, including people with limited hackathon/coding experience. During the day you'll choose from a selection of coding challenges that your team needs to try and solve. You'll have the opportunity to network, meet like-minded individuals, and improve your technical skills. Food, drinks, snacks, and mini-games will be provided. We hope to see you there!
