Terrible Ideas 2025 - Photos & Recap

Congratulations for finishing! This year's Terrible Ideas hackathon was the first year it has been run here in Tāmaki Makaurau without it's founder, Zac. We were a little rough around the edges, but all-in-all, I think things went well?

Together, you all delivered 17 projects. From the engaging weather simulation experience of the THUNDERDOME, to Glamour Wash's glitter shower, or to the emotionally destructive Dreaditations, we saw some dastardly ideas come to life. Big congratulations to our elected "best worst" project, "Untitled(3)", the real-time synchronized soundboard that sends one device's inputs to another.

We're really glad you decided to spend your weekend with us, and hope to see you at the next Terrible Ideas 👀.

If you took any photos or videos over the weekend, we'd love to have them! Just upload them to the google photos album below. Last year, we forgot to send out the link 😅. This made it really hard to put together the video at the beginning of the presentation, and to showcase the amazing things you've all done.

If you see a photo in the album that you'd like removed, just send us an email.

❤️ Russell & the team at Terrible Ideas Tāmaki Makaurau
