About the challenge
HackNotts is an annual (sometimes) 24-hour hackathon brought to you by HackSoc and supported by Capital One, NordSec, SSOJet and University of Nottingham's School of Computer Science.
You will have 25 hours to design, coordinate and execute an idea. Each year we have students travel from across the far ends of the country collaborating, prototyping, and accomplishing amazing things!
You'll learn new skills from both the many attendees and the informative workshops hosted by the sponsors and organisers.
You don't have to be a software or hardware wizard to attend! No matter what experience you have (or don't), it'll be a great oppurtunity to learn new skills and have some fun!
For more information, take a look at our website!
Requirements
Whatever you'd like! Whether it be a website, a game, hardware or just a plain old .exe, as long as it doesn't explode, you're more than welcome to create whatever you'd like! :D
