CUE is organising an Appathon as part of the Silicon Valley comes to the UK events! Registration is now open so sign up at: http://bit.ly/appathon

The Coventry Appathon is a two-day hackathon event taking place on the 8th/9th October in the Computer Laboratory. Hundreds of students across the country will also take part in regional Appathons.

The aim is for students to get together and build web and mobile applications on well-known consumer facing platforms, using newly released government data sets. We’ll have support available on the day from the platform providers (to be revealed - though I’m sure you can guess!) and also the government data guys.

There are some spectacular prizes available for the best apps, including trips to Silicon Valley!

As you can imagine, numbers are strictly limited so please register now to save your place! http://bit.ly/appathon
