Enhancing City Life with Interdisciplinary Solutions

DurHack is back - and with more sponsors, more prizes, and more free food than ever before!

Build a hack in just 24 hours with the aim of improving city life. There are loads of prizes available for the best hacks!

DurHack is sponsored by Durham County Council, Bloomberg, MLH, TPP, The Keyboard Company, W@terstons, .TECH Domains, Entrepreneurs Durham, Barclays, Durham University and DU CompSoc.

Eligibility

Students over the age of 18, or graduates who graduated within the last 12 months.

Requirements

The theme is Enhancing city life through interdisciplinary solutions. The best submissions will solve a Durham City problem with a novel solution.

However, hacks that don't follow this theme are also very welcome - and we'll judge these based upon how good the idea is, their implementation, and how well-polished your hack is.

How to enter

Sign-up has now closed, but there is still space on the day for hackers to come. Don't worry if you're late - we'll be able to squeeze you in!
