UQIES Stupid Hackathon 2026

​​Do you have an idea so absurd, so utterly useless, that it needs to exist? Then welcome to UQIES Stupid Hackathon 2026!

​​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: March 6-7, 2025 (5pm Friday - 6pm Saturday)

​​🍕 Food: Dinner Friday + lunch Saturday provided

​​🏆 Prizes: $1000 cash prize pool

​​What to Expect:

• ​​Food to fuel your terrible ideas

• ​​The chance to build something completely useless

​​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!
