WHAT TO EXPECT

What is a Hack-a-thon?

A hack-a-thon is a fast-paced, hands-on challenge where teams turn ideas into action, all within a set timeframe. It’s not about coding; it’s about collaboration, creativity, and changing thinking.

At the Big Change Challenge, participants will come together to reimagine solutions for real-world problems inspired by the Brisbane 2032 Games. Expect brainstorming, rapid prototyping, and bold pitches guided by industry mentors, fuelled by teamwork, and focused on impact that lasts.
