Hackathon in SydneySaturday 16 May 2026

Monthly Hack Day - Cost of Living in an oil crisis

Chris's take

Tackle the oil crisis with your coding skills, brainstorm solutions with civic-minded designers and engineers who want to help everyday people.

About the eventFrom the organiser

You'll spend the day working on practical solutions to the cost of living crisis, starting with a briefing on the civic challenge before breaking into project teams. Code for Sydney brings together software engineers, designers, and students who want to build tools that actually help people reduce their dependence on oil or stretch their budgets further. The format gives you space to brainstorm in the morning, then code alongside people who care about the same problems you do. If you've got a project idea you want to pitch or a quick talk to give, they actively encourage that. Expect the community feel of a working session rather than a competition, and the chance to walk away with a working prototype that addresses something real.
