UHack Tasmania 2017

UHack is Tasmania's innovation hackathon competition - run for student and public innovators - by students and staff from the University of Tasmania.

There are great prizes on offer - check the main website for details.

UHack is open to students and the public, and will be run simultaneously in Hobart, Burnie and Launceston on the weekend of September 8-10.

Register a team, and work over the UHack weekend to develop a software application, a business model and a pitch video, which are reviewed by our panel of judges. Judging will take place at the end of UHack weekend. What you develop is up to you – all we ask is you identify an opportunity or solve a problem or need that aligns with our research themes:

• Environment, Resources and Sustainability


• Creativity, Culture and Society


• Better Health


• Marine, Antarctic and Maritime


• Data, Knowledge and Decisions

UHack is not all about programming – it’s also about identifying problems and opportunities, developing a business model, and putting together a pitch video that summarises your project.

We recommend your team is well rounded, with business as well as programming skills. Team sizes should be between 4 and 6 people.

Check out the UHack Guide website for more details about competing in UHack.

UHack is a collaboration between the University of Tasmania, the TECH, Computing and Technology, and Business student societies, Startup Tasmania and the Enterprize Hubs.
