Are you ready for our big Hackathon?

The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed many fallacies of the healthcare system which includes accessibility, varying access to good quality healthcare depending on geography, demography, age, gender, socio-economic status and so on.

The challenge around accessibility has caused great inequities across society in terms of the quality of life people experience. These inequities pose a big challenge for society and an opportunity for solutions addressing various aspects of the problem.

🗓From Saturday 11th of June to Tuesday 14th of June, join us for our 4-day in-person event and a busy programme ahead of you: workshops to prepare for your final pitch, discussions, allocated time for group work, and coaching sessions!

We have an exciting Jury for this hackathon: Judges from Imperial College Investment Fund, Speedinvest founders and more to be announced!

👫To participate, please be aware of the following team requirements:

- Groups should be 4 to 6 people
- Minimum requirement: All group should have 1 Imperial College student
- Ideally; all groups should have 1 Imperial STEM student and 1 Imperial Business School student
