I’m trying to get a team of six together for the UK’s first sport hackathon. The challenge is to create an app that facilitates social change through sport at the Sport England Sport Technology Awards Hackathon. It will take place over 25 hours on 2-3 October 2015 during which time teams will have just 24 hours to develop their concept that will help a particular demographic group become more physically active.
The winning team will be awarded a bursary of £10,000 to help them build the app.
If you’re interested can you please get in touch with me, Clare at: cfarrance@bournemouth.ac.uk
Team registration closes on 7th September. Would be great to have a BU team there!
