Hack@Brookes 2017
Welcome to Hack@Brookes, the student run 24-hour hackathon at Oxford Brookes University. Now usually when we talk about Hackathons, the first thing people think about is that we’re ‘hacking the mainframe’, when in fact we just want to see if we can get something together fast that does something helpful. Rapid prototyping if you will. We believe in quipping people to work together as a force for good in the world, having as much fun as possible while they’re doing it!
That’s why this year, we’re shifting gear. Even people living under a rock will have heard what’s going on in the world and felt the shadow over the world that is... ‘Cyber’. We’re taking the hackathon experience to another level. As well as working on your dev skills, come and find out how networks are the bare bones - where everything comes together, explore how you can make your web work that little bit tighter-knit, and say hello to Kali Linux, the ultimate hacker’s toolkit.

FAQ:
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
Nothing! Hack@Brookes is completely free for attendees. We will also be providing free food and drinks throughout the event so there's no need to worry. Unfortunately, we won't be able to provide travel reimbursements at the moment, but stay tuned.
WHAT IF I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE?
Fret not, we got you covered. Hack@Brookes will also be having several workshops on programming, design and a bunch of other topics. There will also be talks on various topics by experienced individuals, so there's a lot to learn in case you're a beginner.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A TEAM OR AN IDEA?
That's not an issue. Many people who come to hackathons don't have a team or an idea in hand already. We have a team building event where we will help hackers connect with each other and find the right people or their ideas.
All attendees are requested to carry an ID with them. If you are an under-18, we will reach out to you with a consent form ahead of the event.
