Manchester Youth Hack #7

Manchester Youth Hack #7

This event is for 13-18 year olds (not yet at uni). We will need an emergency contact name and number to allow you to stay unaccompanied.

A 2 day coding competition where you get to try coding in a friendly environment with professional mentors.

Come and code with your friends - or learn to code and make friends.

Digital companies will set challenges and offer prizes. This doesn't just mean the best code - its about working well as a team, being willing to learn and daring to fail...

If you've not done a hack before, no matter - there'll be friendly mentors on hand to help you out.

Please note that by signing up you in agreeing to image consent. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.
