2024 bigspark Hackathon

This Spring, 50 bigsparkers participated in the company’s first Hackathon in London. In 24 hours, 7 teams had to develop 7 innovative ideas within the theme

“Innovating for Humanity, Harnessing data and AI for real world change.”

The Hackathon gave us a chance, as a fully remote company, to connect with each other, build new relationships, and spark creativity by attempting to build ideas in hours, instead of months.

Robin Bradley, CEO of bigspark "It was really uplifting to feel the positive energy in the room throughout the 2 days. The spark was shining bright, it was great seeing everyone work closely and collaborate together at the Hackathon. There were some amazing ideas and thank you for all your efforts and presentations."
