HackEd Norwich 2025

24–26 February 2025
Duke Street Riverside, Norwich

The very first HackEd took place at Duke Street Riverside in February 2025. We came together to Create, Code and Collaborate, with 100 students from schools, colleges and universities across Norfolk and Suffolk taking part. A huge thank you to every student, judge and mentor who helped make those three days so special.

Together, students built working tech projects around one brief: use technology to make life better for local residents.
