We’re excited to announce the official launch for AstonHack11.
Our Hackathon will run from the 7th to 8th of February and will be an enjoyable, creative and inspiring experience for hackers and organisers alike
Hackathons are invention marathons where attendees dream up and bring to life ideas for apps, websites, robots, and more. We are inviting students to join us for 24 hours while we develop the ideas for the future!
Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been programming for years, hackathons are a great place to learn new skills, build your network, find jobs, and most importantly have fun.

Judging Criteria
-
Creativity & Innovation
We're all about thinking outside the box here. If your project makes us go, "Wow, that's cool!" because it's something fresh and different, you're on the right track. -
Functionality & Technical Implementation
This is all about making your idea come to life. If it works smoothly, looks like you've put some serious thought into it, and you've tackled some tricky bits to bring it all together, you're doing great. -
User Experience
How easy is it to use the platform you’ve developed? If the experience is smooth and prioritises a user’s requirements, you’re along the right tracks. -
Presentation
Here's where you get to show off your project and tell us why it's awesome. Keep it clear, make it fun, and if you can get us as excited about your project as you are, you're golden.
