StudentHack V

Team from University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan working together to deliver this fun event

GreatUniHack

StudentHack is an all-inclusive, free and fun programming event for students in Manchester. Turns out it is run by students too.
StudentHack is back in its 5th edition and promising to deliver an epic event where you will learn and build awesome hacks, by working together with the team behind GreatUniHack.
Format
Attendees will have 36 hours to build something awesome, either in hardware or software.
There will be workshops to get you going with various technology such as: iOS development, Raspberry pi, Python, etc.
Hackers can optionally use sponsor APIs and platforms. At the end of the 36-hour window, people will have time to show either their hack (ready and working), to talk a little about their ideas or what technology they used, what worked and what they had trouble with.
We will be providing hardware for attendees and cool gadgets to hack on! Drones, Oculus rifts, Eye trackers, leap motions, myo armbands, muse headband, arduinous, edisons, you name it.
Hacks can be made alone or in teams of any size up to 4 members. Teams can be decided at any point before submission and we’ll be having a session for matching up before we start, if you’re unsure of who to work with.
The event is free for attendees &amp; we’ll have food and refreshments paid for by our sponsors, as well as prizes for various categories of hacks.
