🚀 Rust Nation UK isn’t just about listening to incredible talks, it’s 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.
🎮 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.
🚗 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.
🦀 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?
We’re always open to suggestions. Drop them in the comments 👇
