What is WHACK?
WHACK is Warwick's largest hackathon ever! Teams of up to 4 will compete by creating a product for one of the problem statements in 24 hours, with a chance to win over 2,500GBP of prizes!
There will be sponsor talks, social events, free food and the chance to be sleep deprived, all the things you need for an incredible event!
Requirements
What to Build
During the hackathon, we will reveal the 3 problem statements from each of our title sponsors. Select ONE problem statement to go for, and during the event let one of the organisers know which sponsor you are targetting.
Depending on the statement, create whatever you think matches the criteria for the problem! This could be a web application, an ML model, etc, whatever you think aligns best with what is being asked!
What to Submit
When you come to submit your project, submit it on devpost with plenty of images and your team name. You will then in the afternoon present your project to your chosen sponsor, and winners will receive prizes from a pool of over 2,500GBP!
