What is this event?
Join them at the Greentech Hackathon, an event led in partnership with Edinburgh Greentech Futures. No hacking, tech or environmental experience is required, just a curiosity to learn and an interest in coming up with creative solutions to some of the most pressing environmental issues we are facing today.
Join them for a day of working together to create something that could make a difference.
What can I expect?
With help from CodeBase team members and their facilitator, you will be split into teams to solve a problem presented to you at the beginning of the day. Or, if you have a problem of your own you want to solve, you will be placed on their ‘wildcard’ table, to work alongside others to help you solve it.
This is a day of brainstorming and developing tech-based solutions (with no tech experience required), having fun and making connections!
They will provide a light lunch, and time for you to network and meet your fellow hackers.
If you'd like to submit a problem to be worked on by the group, you can fill out the submission form here!
What should I bring?
Please bring along a laptop/mobile device to research and work from.
