Hackathon

HACK A SOCIAL CHALLENGE within the Birmingham area.

Our 'hackathon' for young spirited people who want to make a difference by taking on social challenges within the Birmingham area.

Our expert speakers will outline a number of priorities and then working in their preferred groups, attendees will work through their own innovation on how to deliver change. Each group will have a business lead and a social enterprise mentor to support and challenge them through the day.

Groups will feedback to the room to the panel of experts and mentors. Wates have allocated resources to develop viable ideas - giving participants a real voice in looking at, and providing solutions to, the key challenges being talked about currently.
