Introduction
Welcome to WarwickHACK! We are proud to be amongst the universities in the MLH UK Spring season! In order to ensure your smooth arrival and participation, we’ve put together pack of everything to know about the hackathon. The doors for the event open at 10am Saturday the 7th of March and you can find the full event programme and other information on the following pages.

Who we are?
We are a group of undergraduate students at the University of Warwick and come from various academic backgrounds. Some of us are Engineers and
Computer Scientists, others Economics and Law students but all interested in technology and its development. Our society, WarwickTECH, is an entrepreneurial group with a focus on STEM and we aim to help develop and teach budding entrepreneurs within our community.
Our Hackathon is one of many events we are hosting this year and we plan to hold Crash Course Workshops (e.g. introduction to 3D printing), guest speaker presentations and much more. Our team has worked incredibly hard this year to get us to where we are and we aim to continue our success.

Important Notes
// This is a beginner friendly event - There will be mentors on site to help out // There are no programming language restrictions - Code in what you feel prefer! // There will be prizes awarded to participants who meet or exceed the challenges set out by our sponsors
