About

Join us, in-person or online, on Thursday 24 April for the CodeBase Hackathon, a day of teamwork, innovation and fun to create something that could make a difference!

If you have a curiosity to learn and an interest in coming up with creative solutions to real-world challenges, then this event is for you. Whether you’re a founder, a coder, a designer or just interested in learning more, this is a chance to collaborate, experiment and turn ideas into action.

With help from CodeBase team members, you will be split into teams to solve a problem presented to you at the beginning of the day. You’re also welcome to bring your own problem that you want help to solve: we’ll choose one ‘wildcard’ challenge from those brought along on the day.

Got a challenge in mind? Submit your problem using the form below! The more details you provide, the better—we’d love to understand the issue, what an ideal solution might look like, and any potential roadblocks.
