Wigan & Leigh Youth Hack

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

Digital companies will set challenges and offer prizes for the best hack. This doesn't just mean the best code - its about working well as a team, being willing to learn, showing all kinds of skills.

This is a fun event where the aim is to work together, learn and produce something cool. If you've not done a hack before, no matter - there'll be friendly mentors on hand to help you out.

You just need to bring a laptop and some enthusiasm and be ready to work with other people.

This event is for 13-19 year olds. We will need an emergency contact name and number to allow you to stay unaccompanied. 

Lunch will be provided on both days.

This edition of Wigan & Leigh Youth Hack is brought to you by Hive Manchester, Hack Manchester Leigh Hackspace and our other lovely supporters.
