About this Event

Save the Date - Sony Hackathon,

Friday 9th June 2023, Engineering Building A, University of Manchester:

Limited places so register early

The event should be a fun end to the exam period with judges being drawn from across the Faculty as well as flying in from Sony Japan & Europe. A range of prizes will be offered across three categories. The challenge will be shared at the start of what will be an entertaining and intense few hours where you can equally well show your flair for

Creativity & Vision
Innovation
Delivering Practical Solutions

With prizes offered by Sony Semiconductors across all categories as well as an overall winning team.

Whether you are interested in a fun day, prizes, free food or a career opportunity the event should be a memorable one to end the year

The event is open to students from any discipline across the Faculty of Science and Engineering and beyond. Coding skills are not essential as winners will equally well include those with the brightest ideas and visionary pitches as much as for those who can excel in delivering pragmatic technical solutions to a tight deadline, no matter how rough. The event will be based on team working within groups of four students. You may register as a self-selected team of four, individually or in smaller groups. Do not worry if you have less than four people as any missing numbers will be made up once registration closes.

As is the nature of such events the specific challenge will be a mystery before the day and will be broad enough to be inclusive and challenging no matter what your chosen undergraduate course may be. To get a head start it is suggested that you visit the following forum, enough said:
