Terrible Ideas Hackathon - Lite
10:00 am – 12:00 pm · Free · Hackathon · UNSW Founders
Two hour sprint to build something intentionally terrible with other UNSW founders, silly fun that somehow teaches you to prototype fast.
Michael Crouch Innovation Centre · Gate Two Avenue, Kensington, NSW 2033
You'll spend two hours in a room full of UNSW founders deliberately trying to make something bad, which sounds ridiculous until you realise how much faster you move when you stop worrying about polish. The constraint isn't technical skill or a serious problem to solve, it's embracing the absurd. You'll work in teams, build something deliberately awful (think janky prototypes and half-baked ideas), and actually internalise what it feels like to ship something without perfectionism getting in the way. It's designed for people who overthink the starting line, not experienced hackers.
