Lancaster Silly Hackathon 2017
27 May - 10:00 AM
Lancaster, United Kingdom
'Nobody will use this'
There's no end-goal, no notion of good or bad, and no idea too simple or too stupid. The Silly Hackathon is aimed at everyone with the desire to build their wacky and fantastic ideas for the simple sake of building something.
Details
The plan is simple, we'll be holding a day of building silly tools, gadgets and thingamabobs. Use your programming skills to develop something which has no utility but enormous humouristic value.
if (idea['type'] == 'terrible'
OR list_uses(idea) == []
OR wtf(idea) > 0) {
print('Perfect!');
}
At the end of the day, every participant or team will have a five-minute presentation to show off what they've made to everyone else.
