Description

readyHACKERs?

It's the return of the HACK!

18th & 19th February 2020 |Tameside One, Tameside College

Tameside Council and Tameside College are bringing the Tameside HACK back in February half term, 2020.

The Tameside HACK is a two-day coding competition for 11-18 year-old HACKERS in Tameside. Both days start at 9:30am and finish at 16:00pm.

Sponsor businesses set challenges for HACKERS to work on in teams of four, and donate the all-important prizes for the winners! Mentors from real tech businesses are available throughout the competition to lend a hand, and there's a dedicated mentor for newbie coders so young people of all abilities can have fun and learn.

Everybody gets a free goody bag from our sponsors as well as free lunch on both days. There'll be computers available so you don't even need to bring your own device!

Follow us @TamesideHACK for the latest news and updates.
