UQIES Stupid Hackathon 2025 🤖
Do you have an idea so absurd, so utterly useless, that it needs to exist? Then welcome to UQIES Stupid Hackathon 2025!
Because the best ideas are sometimes the worst ideas
Join the University of Queensland Innovation and Entrepreneurship Society for our inaugural Stupid Hackathon - a 24-hour celebration of magnificently useless technology!
What is a Stupid Hackathon? Forget changing the world. Forget solving real problems. This hackathon is about building the most gloriously pointless, hilariously impractical, and beautifully stupid tech projects imaginable. Think: apps that make your life worse, websites that serve no purpose, or gadgets that solve problems nobody has.
Event Details:
📅 When: September 5-6, 2025 (5pm Friday - 6pm Saturday)
🍕 Food: Dinner Friday + lunch Saturday provided
🏆 Prizes: 2,000 price pool
What to Expect:
24 hours of delightfully bad coding
Like-minded people who appreciate beautiful disasters
Food to fuel your terrible ideas

The chance to build something completely useless with pride
Who Should Come: Developers, designers, students, and anyone who's ever had an idea so bad it might just be genius. All skill levels welcome - stupidity knows no bounds!
