We're proud to announce the UK's largest collaborative student-run hackathon, HackLondon.

Just like a hack, it started with an idea. And now, KCL Tech Society, UCLU Technology Society, and UCL Entrepreneurs have come together and decided to work on a collaboration bigger than ever before.

Organised and run by three of the UK's fastest-growing and award-winning societies, over 200 students will hack the weekend away, surrounded by free food, swag, and amazing people.

Excited yet?

Eligibility

This event is strictly 18+. Any enrolled undergraduate or postgraduate student, or graduates who are less than a year out of university can attend HackLondon. Students will be required to show their student ID in order to enter the hackathon.
