School of Computing and Mathematics at Keele University

Hey all, did you know that Keele's Green Festival Thinkathon (hosted by yours truly) is only three days away?!

What is a thinkathon? It's a competition where you take a weekend to think up some solutions (grounded in reality or note) to counter sustainability issues - and the best ideas win swanky prizes!

The competition launch is Friday the 12th of March at 11am on the dedicated Discord Server (https://discord.gg/YyzHkpaKxC) and then you're free to go and come up with your ideas with a final submission time of 1pm on the following Monday (the 15th) so gather a team or go it alone to try and take home the first place titles. With prizes for both the best concept and for the best implementation, this competition is for everyone.

We've got some great workshops, talks, quizzes and more going on across the weekend that you can drop in to as many or as few as you like - plus it's all 100% free so sign up below! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7vO7K2i2-U2wY1mJRcPUZodw51ISZ8lEhp0Fedtb8ihUMDQ1TktWTVdYSjRETzQwMDBOWlAwS0ZVVi4u
