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
Check out the University research themes to get some background 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.
