What?

HackManchester is an annual 24-hour coding competition in the heart of Manchester at the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI).

Teams of up to 4 talented developers, designers and those with great ideas turn up, pick a challenge and have just 24 hours to produce something to wow our judges.

We’re proud to be holding this event as part of the Manchester Science Festival. 2016 will be our biggest yet as we see the 5th HackManchester, 10th Manchester Science Festival AND Manchester is the European City of Science.
