BCUHack is Birmingham City University's first 24 hour Hackathon. The event will be part of employability week and is aimed at Computing students of all skill levels. This is an internal event and as such is exclusive to Birmingham City University Students.
This is a brilliant opportunity for students to develop new software, learn about new technologies, acquire new skills and meet new people. The Hackathon will involve you working in a team to develop software within the time frame. There will be challenges set by the event sponsors and you can create software on any platform, using the tools provided by our sponsors.
Teams usually consist of 4 people.
