HACKATHON

18th - 19th October Oculus Lecture Theatre

WAIT, WHACK?

Warwick's flagship on-campus hackathon is back for 2025!

Following a huge success with the first ever WHACK last year, we're working hard to make it even better — and are now opening our doors to ALL university students nationwide!

Look forward to free food all weekend, sponsor events, unforgettable activities, and of course, the chance to showcase your own project all in 24 hours!

Now, all that's left for you to do is bring a laptop, friends, and some creativity. We'll handle the rest.

PROJECT TO PRIZES

Assemble in teams of (up to) 4, and submit a project to one of many categories for the chance for your team to win a prize from our pool of goodies worth over £4,000!

Each track sponsor will provide a problem statement, mixed in with some of our own.

We can't wait to see you, your friends, and Warwick's most ingenious 24-hour creations at WHACK. See you there!

TOP INDUSTRY SPONSORS

We're proud to be supported annually by top industry names, and we’re looking for sponsors to join us in powering the next wave of tech talent!

WHACK is the perfect opportunity for tech companies and startups to support talented students, and gain access into our pool of brilliant minds in STEM. There are also opportunities throughout the event to host talks and networking events. We're still open to sponsors for WHACK 2025, and we would be delighted to hear from you!

For students, this is your opportunity to show off your technical skills, build connections with employers and use their industry-leading technologies!
