[LINK] Who Hacks Wins

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian Defense Tech Hackathon is being held 6 to 8 February 
2026, at UNSW Canberra. https://luma.com/adth-2026

The usual hackathon format is used, with teams spending a few days 
working on an idea & competing for prizes. But the point with a 
hackerthon is that you are not there to invent something, but to learn.

This will be my fourth time mentoring at defence hackerthon. ANU is 
using a similar format for teaching software construction:
