Has anyone been involved in a Hackathon before?

Hi all,

 

I'm interested in arranging a Hackathon in Sheffield and i was wondering what the good folk of Sheffield thought about this?

 

It gives the chance for wantrepreneurial minded people to meet coders/developers, UX Designers and anyone who just wants to get involved to create and launch a digital product.

 

Any views on this welcome and would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

The company I work organized an internal one recently and there were a few Sheffield teams so there is interest. I'm too busy being a parent but I can pass on info if you like. There is an occasional tech get together thing a colleague used to go to but details completely slipped my mind.

Proboards set a challenge many years ago. Saying no one could hack them and offered a measly £40 to anyone that could. Guess what they lost that £40!. lol
