Hackathons aren't about breaking into things! They're about bringing people together to create amazing things using computers. We think it's really sad that some people have never been to a hackathon or had proper fun with computer science, so we want to give you the opportunity to explore and play about in the creative, exciting world of technology. At this hackathon we'll be building to a theme: “How can Schroders encourage more people to invest more money?”- Think about ways of saving money and how you could then invest it Who Girls aged 5 all the way up to 22. Parents/Guardians. If you're under 16, you'll need to have an adult with you. On the plus side, we'd love it if they helped out with making your game or app!
