What is a hackathon? We’re bringing together entrepreneurs, marketers, scientists, beekeepers and anyone else passionate about honey together for a weekend. The idea is to think differently about how we use, promote, distribute and store honey. Anyone is welcome - no experience necessary. Over the weekend we will be delivering content on design thinking, lean canvas and startup methodology as well as having honey bee researchers on site to answer all your burning questions about honey and bees. Western Australia has healthy bees and a rare flora that produces many unique flavours and health benefits. The opportunity is to combine an appreciation of our iconic flora with the honey bee product. How do I find out more? We are having an information evening on Tuesday 6th March at The University of Western Australia from 5.30- 7.30 pm.
