People with ideas
Do you have a great idea on how we could use technology to make information about the North East’s tech sector more accessible?
We can only choose a maximum of 5 ideas so get yours submitted now. We’ll share the shortlisted ideas before the event.
Participants
On the day, Hackers will have eight hours to bring ideas to life and demo solutions to our judges.
If you’d like to be one of our Hackers and showcase your creativity and coding skills get in touch.
Spaces are limited and each team needs a mixture of skills including software developers and designers. You can either apply to take part individually and we’ll allocate you a team or apply as a pre-formed team. Team sizes should be no more than 6 people. We would recommend at least 80% of the team are able to write code. Winners will be announced on the day. Details on what they win will be announced soon!
