We give you all the resources you need, from hardware and APIs to workshops, sponsors and volunteers who can help you with whatever questions you might have. In a few words, you attend to have fun, learn things you didn’t even know existed and see your ideas come to life. This year we are back IN-PERSON - for more information about what is going to change, check out the Event section or the FAQs. This event is partnered with Major League Hacking<https://mlh.io/>. We’ll be following MLH’s Code of Conduct, which you can find here<https://static.mlh.io/docs/mlh-code-of-conduct.pdf>.

We're looking for volunteers to help us with logistics on the day of the event. We will have free food (2 lunches, 1 dinner, and snacks all the way through), and you'll also get to meet our sponsors if you're interested in that. If anyone is interested please DM me!   Check out OxWoCS! Make sure to join OxWoCS (Oxford Women in CS), a society we're working closely with, if you identify as a woman or woman-adjacent person in CS! They have a host of wonderful events on, including talks, panels and socials. Computer Science is unfortunately a subject with one of the biggest gender gaps in Oxford and worldwide, and addressing this is at the core of OxWoCS.
