Hackathon in SydneyFriday 19 June 2026

Terrible Ideas Hackathon!

Chris's take

46 hours to build something hilariously bad with zero pressure, perfect if you want to code without taking yourself seriously.

About the eventFrom the organiser

You'll spend 46 hours building intentionally useless software or hardware with other people who've left their competitive streak at the door. The brief is delightfully open: make something terrible, and the worse the idea, the better. Teams form on the day, so you'll rub shoulders with artists, designers, and engineers who showed up specifically to have fun rather than pad their portfolio. There's no judging on technical merit or polish, which means beginners are genuinely welcome alongside experienced builders. It's the rare hackathon where the goal is laughter rather than a launch, and the vibe tends to be collaborative rather than cutthroat.

Keep exploring

If this event feels right, these are the organiser's next dates worth considering.
