The Telstra Cloud Hackathon

Winter is almost over and that means the holiday season is just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about how you can digitally power your holiday activities; from shopping and decorating to scheduling time with family and friends.

Join us this December at the Telstra Cloud Hackathon.

We are challenging innovators and disrupters across Melbourne to develop their best holiday hack and find ways on how to digitally power all of their holiday activities.

Eligibility

What equipment do I need to bring?

All you need is your computer as well as the software and hardware you’ll be using on the day. There will also be a limited supply of hardware components and tools available. Other than that, enthusiasm and a passion for innovation is also encouraged!
