Who are we?
“A hacker is someone who loves to program or enjoys playful cleverness, or a combination of the two. The act of engaging in activities (such as programming or other media) in a spirit of playfulness and exploration is termed hacking.”
We're HackSoc, the free-to-join technology, computing, recreational programming, and hacking society at the University of Nottingham!
Our members come from all different schools in the University, and we run our workshops and talks to cater to all different skill levels. So whether you've been programming your whole life, or you have never touched a computer, there'll be something for you!
HackSoc is run by these people!
What's on?
We regularly run workshops, talks, and social events. We host HackNotts, our annual hackathon, and have been for almost a decade. We travel to, and compete in, other hackathons, and we have a thriving community of Nottingham students and graduates in our Discord server.
