Reconnect Hackathon 2

Our first Reconnect Hackathon event was so well received that we have decided to run another - Reconnect Hackathon 2 on Thursday 30 June from 9:30am to 4pm at Ashford International Hotel, Simone Weil Avenue, Ashford, TN24 8UX.

Join us at our next Reconnect Hackathon to unlock the potential of children and young people across the county to come up with ways to improve health, wellbeing and ability to engage with learning within their school communities.

What is a hackathon?

The main goal of a hackathon is to find an effective solution to a problem. It is an event that brings interested parties together to collaboratively problem solve in a competitive environment. All teams will be led through a series of activities to address the challenge set. Activities will be punctuated by interesting speakers to broaden perspectives and supply additional information.

A prize pot of £12,000 will be divided between the best project ideas so they can be delivered in schools and communities. Projects must be delivered in the next academic year.

Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to network, test initial concepts with the professionals in the room, and share ideas between schools.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided!
