๐ Rust Nation UK isnโt just about listening to incredible talks, itโs about building, experimenting, and getting hands-on with Rust in new ways.
At our last two conferences, we've held hackathons that gave attendees the chance to create something real, and take it with them beyond the event.
๐ฎ In partnership with the Rust GameDev Working Group, and sponsored by Amazon Prime Video, we hosted a Rust Game Jam. From platformers to procedural worlds, attendees built playable prototypes using engines like Bevy and Macroquad, explored ECS architecture and shared their creations, right there at the venue.
๐ Meanwhile, Helsing ran an embedded systems hackathon, where participants programmed drones and R/C cars, working with microcontrollers, and diving into no_std development. A real chance to explore low-level Rust with hardware in your hands.
๐ฆ Whether you're into systems, games, or just trying something new, Rust Nation gives you more than just great talks. It gives you projects worth continuing.
Got an idea for a hands-on project you'd love to see at Rust Nation 2025?
Weโre always open to suggestions. Drop them in the comments ๐
