Street Hack Dundee

Student solutions to make the city better for those on foot and on bikes

(Free to attend, lunch included)





Top line

Street Hack is a day that brings people together to address ("hack") challenges students face to walking and cycling on the streets of Dundee.

Street Hack is organised by Sustrans and supported by Snook, who will be leading the hack on the day.

Are you interesting in helping more students to walk and cycle in Dundee?

Join us on the 30th of April to be part of a passionate group of students from unis and colleges in Dundee looking to address barriers to walking and cycling around town.

The day is a fun, hands-on and playful way to have ideas. Over the day, we will build and test them, in the real world. You will hear from inspirational speakers and learn about design tools, to help think outside the box.

Snook's team of experienced designers will be there to support and guide you through the day. Plus there will be a seriously tasty lunch provided!



Who can come?

The event is aimed at students studying in and around Dundee, but otherwise there are no criteria for attendees. From everyday commuters, lycra lovers, non-cyclists, ramblers, to those who just wish they could walk or cycle more. We believe involving everyone makes our solutions stronger.

When?

Registration from 09:30, for a prompt 10:00 start.

What is a hack?

A hack is a time-restricted, issue-exploring, and idea-generating event, where participants come together to create a series of potential solutions to a problem and quickly test them in the real world. The ideas themselves might be realistic or impossible, obvious or completely wild. In any case, the strength of a hack lies in the insight you can gain into why a problem occurs and in the transformation from thinking about what the solution must be to understanding the many solutions there could be. Hacks are never the end of a journey, but they are often the first step on the road to real change led by a group of enthused team members who can own the process and transform an organisation. Also, there is coffee and, quite often, cake.
