What is Hack Pompey?

Hack Pompey is a FREE social hackathon taking place on Saturday March 16th at the University of Portsmouth.

We welcome people from all backgrounds and disciplines to join us, learn something new, and build something awesome together!

What can I build?

Anything you want!

People typically collaborate on solving problems, or work on an idea like a new product, service or game.

We know how daunting coming up with ideas can be though, so we've made things a little easier by setting a theme to help get your brain ticking.

Do I need a team?

We believe that people have the most fun and build the best things when they work together.

If you don't yet have a team, don't worry! There will be plenty of opportunity to form a team at the event.

“When I went the theme was Sustainability. My team’s project was Deathlaser, a browser-based game about destroying blocks which, in my opinion, is about as sustainable as it gets.– Jack Travis
