Winter Hackathon 2019

Challenge your thinking and hack for humanity at the next RHoK summer hackathon!

As part of a national movement, we will be gathering together on the 22nd and 23rd to work with change-makers from the community to solve problems that have a positive social impact.

_________________________________________________

-----Who can 'hack'?-----
We're calling for ✔️individuals who want to make a difference and are passionate about using technology for the greater good.
Our past hackers have come from various backgrounds including ✔️design (UI/UX/product), ✔️software development, ✔️business analytics and ✔️more.

So if that's you, join us for a packed and rewarding weekend. Collaborate with new people. Get excited about an idea. Put all your effort behind it. Run up against a wall, then climb over it. Make it work in a weekend. Present the solution to the judges. Walk away from the event knowing you made a difference.
