South Australian Defence Hackathon 2024

The South Australian Defence Hackathon 2024 is designed to shape future engineers in Australia’s defence sector.

Hosted at Lot Fourteen, the event is centred on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). It fosters an environment where teams collaborate yet compete, closely emulating real-world defence settings.

The hackathon will be in the format of a 24 hour design and build challenge hosted at Lot Fourteen. There will be four pre-hackathon workshops included to prepare participants for the event, as well as a Networking evening at Stone and Chalk on the following Friday, 8th of March, 2024.

Participation is limited to only 50 people, and tickets will go on sale for only $50 per person at 11AM on Tuesday, 5th of December 2023. The Hackathon is open to graduate engineers (up to 3 years post-graduate experience) currently employed for a defence contractor or a final year engineering student who is working in defence, or finished an internship with a defence contractor. The winning teams will be awarded with cash prizes and unique engineering experiences organised with our partnering companies.
