Canva Gen©️ - Student Hackathon London 🚀
What is a Student Hackathon?
Don’t let the name fool you! A Hackathon is an intensive, one-day sprint where students come together to solve a specific challenge using creativity, strategy, and tools (like Canva!). It’s about teamwork, fast thinking, and hands-on making.
There is no coding involved
On January 31, 2026, we are bringing together London’s most creative students for a full day of building and designing.
