Terrible Ideas: One week to go
Less than a week to go until the 2025 Terrible Ideas Hackathon here in Tāmaki Makaurau. The atmosphere amongst the team is positively bubbling and we can't wait for our kick off this Friday, March 14th.
If you haven't already registered, now would be a great time to do so. Registering helps us understand what to expect, and how much to prepare.
Some information to tide you over. We'll repeat all of this via email on Friday.
Discord & staying in touch
We'll still be using email for widespread communications, but Discord will be your best place to stay in the loop during the weekend.

When & where to be
Terrible Ideas is taking place at the University of Auckland Unleash Space (enter from Symonds Street). The schedule for Friday is as follows:
- 6:00 PM - Terrible Ideas kicks off with a presentation
- 7:00 PM - Ice breakers, team forming, and ideation
- 10:30 PM - Venue closes for the night
When you arrive, stop by our registration desk to check in! We'll give you a snazzy lanyard with important information like the Wi-Fi password, map of restrooms, and contact details in case of emergency.
Parking & transport
Whilst we recommend using public transport, the Owen G Glenn Building has $6/day parking on the weekend (enter from Grafton Road). Princes Street has free parking on Sundays. Check this university page for more information.
What to bring
If you want to make something physical, we've got you covered! The Unleash Space has a wide variety of tools to help you turn your dream into reality. This includes WiFi, power outlets, laser cutters, 3d printers, vinyl cutters, and a workshop of other tools.
For the first night, just bring a laptop and/or a notepad and pen. You can bring in anything else you need on Saturday.
Sorry for the info dump! Reach out of you have any question, and see you soon.
❤️ Russell & the team at Terrible Ideas Tāmaki Makaurau
