Western Paddl Games

Paddl has teamed up with Western Sydney University. Paddl Games are a series of hackathon styled events where students work with small businesses to solve a real world challenge and present their idea at the end of the challenge day. These challenges provide networking and employment opportunities for the students involved. The students can then later add this experience to their Paddl Profile to capture XP.

Western Paddl Games was meant to be a live and in-person event. However due to COVID-19 the event was held virtually. The challenge day theme revolved around preparing students for a virtual workplace as online workplace formats became commonplace.
