Description
You must register in advance to take part in this event. The deadline to register is Thursday 6 November.
You can find out about our future events on our Social hackathon webpage.
This event is about creativity, collaboration and being impactful. Previous participants have found taking part has helped their course of study and have included the opportunity on their CVs.
You will benefit from a half-day training session on Thursday 13 November to learn more about design thinking, innovation and creative problem solving. This is also your opportunity to meet your teammates before the event itself.
You will then come back with your team on Wednesday 19 November to design possible solutions that will be passed back to the charity for them to develop and implement.
This is a real world problem and you will be having real world impact.
Registration
This event is open to all UWE Bristol students.
You must register in advance using the web form to take part in this Social hackathon.
Once you have completed the form, Georgia and Alicia from the Civic and Inclusivity Team will get in touch with you with more details.
