PubHack

PubHack is a 10 hour hackathon I used to organise. Teams of 4 competed for prizes, developing, designing or filming something based on a theme given out at the beginning of the day!

My Role.

Founder & Organiser.

About this project.

A personal project of mine, and one that was a hell of a lot of fun. In 2013 a friend and I came up with an idea for a hackathon based in a pub. 7 months later ran our first PubHack event. We had 20 people attend to trial it out and it was such a success I ended up running 4 more after that.

The idea is teams of 4 get given a theme at the beginning of the day, and have 10 hours to produce something, anything, and present it later in the evening.

I currently have no plans to run anymore in the new future but would love to do another at some point.
