"A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest, datathon or codefest; a portmanteau of hacking and marathon) is an event where people engage in rapid and collaborative engineering over a relatively short period of time such as 24 or 48 hours." - Hackathon on Wikipedia
BrisHack is the annual 24-hour Hackathon run by the University of Bristol's Computer Science Society (CSS) and the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Society (BEEES) . It is a fun and unique opportunity to explore new areas and gain more practical experience. Not to mention the great networking opportunities with our sponsors!

BrisHack is open to all! If you have even basic technological knowledge, we'd love to see what you make. Alternatively, if you lack technological prowess but have an awesome idea, perhaps you can join a team and be their ideas-person (we'd love to see med-students join us!)
Of course! Participating in a Hackathon is a great way to get more experience; you can either join a team of more experienced participants and learn from them, or participate yourself and grow from the challenge, and hopefully even gain an awesome portfolio piece by the end of the Hackathon.
Remember, it isn't all about winning; BrisHack is a fun event for you to learn and explore new technologies and areas!
As long as you are a student aged over eighteen at a university or college in the UK, you are welcome to join!
Yup! Just make sure to let us know if you have any dietary requirements!
You don't need to solve a huge problem; If you think you've got the cure to cancer, that's awesome! But don't be put off entering because you are tackling a small issue; oftentimes it's the focussed solutions that are the most effective.
