The world needs more lowcoders, and we are planning on training them. But it all starts with that crucial introduction to the awesome lowcode tools on the market.

So we have partnered up with our friends at Loughborough College and the Institute Research Lab to facilitate a lowcode hackathon for the college's current T-Level cohort.

Student teams will be getting to grips with data model development, web scraping, automation and interactive app development to help them take a vital step towards their future careers in technology.

The hackathon is taking place on Thursday 22nd June and is only open to T-Level students at the college, however, future editions are already being discussed and we plan on taking the concept to a much wider audience across the midlands

Tools students will be using

The team is are really excited to be partnering with some of our favourite nocode and lowcode tools:

  • Coda
  • Make
  • Axiom
  • OpenAI

Hackathon Goals

This is our first foray into hackathons, but we know that it is something desperately needed. Primarily we are wanting to showcase the speed, agility and power of the lowcode tools available to us to solve real-world problems. It also happens that these tools are incredibly fun to work with – so goal 1 is fun learning!

But yes, we have a goal of recruiting some of these talented young folk as our automation and lowcode development agency grows leaps and bounds with surging demand!
