Register a team, and work over the UHack weekend to develop a software application, a business model and a pitch video, which are reviewed by our panel of judges. What you develop is up to you – all we ask is you identify an opportunity or solve a problem or need that aligns with our research themes:
- Environment, Resources and Sustainability
- Creativity, Culture and Society
- Better Health
- Marine, Antarctic and Maritime
- Data, Knowledge and Decisions
Check out the University research themes to get some background.
UHack is not all about programming – it’s also about identifying problems and opportunities, developing a business model, and putting together a pitch video that summarises your project.
We recommend your team is well rounded, with business as well as programming skills. Team sizes should be between 4 and 6 people.
Be sure to check the UHack Guide for more information and resources about UHack.
UHack is a collaboration between the University of Tasmania, the TECH, Computing and Technology, and Business student societies, Enterprize and Startup Tasmania.
