Peninsula Hack 2017 - Hackathon Registration
Event Information
Description
The Mornington Peninsula's FIRST Hackathon!
Are you working on the next Seek, Xero or Linkedin? How about a killer app that will solve unemployment? Can you see yourself pitching your idea in a shark-tank like atmosphere and win up to $3000 in cold hard cash to get you started?
Then get your hustle on and register for the Peninsula's first-ever Hackathon.
Hackathons are increasingly practiced around the world as a means to accelerate and prototype innovative ideas - and we want to see the best ideas the Peninsula has to offer.
In teams of up to four people, you’ll have 48 hours to develop an idea designed to solve real-world challenges related to jobs and unemployment. At the end, you get a chance to pitch experienced industry veterans and investors
You can register as a team or individual (we’ll help pair people in teams if solo-registering), and you don't need to be technical to get involved.
It's about the ideas and how far you can progress them in 48 hours.
So what are you waiting for?
Make friends. Have fun. Change the Peninsula & Change the World.
