On any given day Macquarie Park is home to over 40,000 students, 60,000 workers, 7000 visitors and 13,000 residents. Movement both to-and-from and within Macquarie Park presents a major opportunity for the precinct, one which the Macquarie Park Innovation District (MPID) is perfectly positioned to seize.
The Macquarie University Incubator will host the MPID Transport Hackathon – using the future railway upgrade as a catalyst to look more broadly at solutions which enable mobility and connectivity for Macquarie Park. How can we continue to transform the precinct into a world-leading hub to learn, work and play?
HAVE YOUR SAY!
We encourage you to have your say via the ideas portal – open to all and active until Friday 27 October – the results will shape the solutions teams generate during the Hackathon!
The questions on the Ideas Portal have been developed from an Ideation Session run at Konica Minolta on Friday 6 October, here we brought together over 40 industry experts from the MPID network representing more than 15 organisations.
HACK MAC PARK!
All staff are welcome to participate in the Hackathon (2-3 November) where you’ll get to work with a diverse group of minds to build and pitch solutions.
hackathon (noun) – collaborative computer programming event
is this event really 2 days of computer programming?
or have you misused the word “hackathon” ?
I suggest that a dedicated parking area is reserved for staff only, I can see this turning into a nightmare for staff if past history means anything. If you arrive after 9.00am we will not find parking.
