Hosted across a two-week period, the hackathon will take place virtually over five ‘active’ days. You can enter as a team or an individual, and it’s up to each team to decide how and when they work. Using design sprint principles, the teams will be able to quickly cut through the issues and compress potentially months (or years!) of work into just five working days.
The hackathon will take place virtually using Zoom, from Monday 24 August to Friday 4 September. Attendance is only expected on the five ‘active’ days, so the two-week window allows participants to work at their own pace and balance their input with other commitments. There’ll be four virtual tents to host the teams, each with a slightly different problem statement, and participants will be able to select which of these they work on for the duration of the hack. The five ‘active’ days will also feature lightning talks from inspiring experts who have used data in imaginative ways.
