About this hackathon
Midweek Mixer: pints, work in progress and a big thank you
Halfway through hack week, we're taking over a corner of the pub.
Bring whatever you've made so far, finished or on fire. Mentors and partners will be around to give feedback and help if a tool is fighting you. Mostly, it's a chance to meet the other teams, swap tricks and have a pint with people who understand why you haven't slept.
Friends are welcome. Get them to register on this page so we know how many are coming.
