Join CoCreate+ for the Race Day of Hacky Racers, the final event of a high-energy, hands-on hackathon that fuses puppetry, animatronics, robotics and racing! Come and see semi-autonomous RC rovers designed by young innovators aged 12–18, and cheer your favourite on to the finish line.
The project combines STEM, art, and storytelling in a way that’s as fun as it is educational. Whether you’re into coding, 3D printing, crafting, or creative design, there’s a place for you on the Hacky Racers starting grid!
Want to take part in the Hackathon? Book tickets to the Kick-Off Day here.
