e-Buddy Hackathon

The Digital and Creative team are delighted to invite you to our ‘e-Buddy Hackathon’ | Saturday 7th July, 10am – 4pm

As a part of your induction to Oldham College we would like to offer you the opportunity to attend an exclusive event supported by Barclays Bank and Microsoft’s Digital Accessibility Teams.

“A hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, and others, often including subject-matter-experts, collaborate intensively on software projects.”

For this event, we aim to ‘Hack’ a student’s first week at College, to see how we can use technology and YOUR innovative thinking to improve and simplify the experience of studying at a new location!

This will also be a fantastic opportunity to learn how large Blue Chip organisations such as Microsoft and Barclays are harnessing technology and inclusive design principles to transform the customer experience for EVERYONE, ensuring that NO ONE is left behind in a rapidly changing world.

There are only LIMITED places available so if you want to guarantee your spot please RSVP, ASAP, places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis!!! DO NOT MISS this opportunity to meet and spend time with the tutors from the Digital and Creative team and Industry leading experts from Microsoft and Barclays.

This workshop WILL increase your knowledge and skills in readiness for your course start!

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. If England get to the quarters and happen to be playing at 3pm then we will have screens showing the game! Hackers like football too!
