About the challenge

The official BCSS Hackathon is back for 2024 — another exciting year of projects, prizes, and (most importantly) pizza! As per usual, it's open to all University of Bath students; not just Computer Scientists.

You'll have exactly one day to build an innovative project with your team and impress the judges. It's a fun, inclusive, and beginner-friendly atmosphere with a wide range of tracks and talks.

Are you ready for the most exciting 24 hours of your life?
