E-scooter operator Neuron Mobility is launching its first “Global Hackathon” competition for a NZ$3400 top prize for students at universities and colleges in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
- Students will get access to Neuron’s anonymised trip data and will be challenged to develop an algorithm and an operational plan to optimise rental e-scooter and e-bike services in a fictional city.
- Contestants will be judged on operational efficiency, market growth, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme

See breakdownIt searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Prizes will be awarded to the top 14 teams of up to four students, and individuals from the top team will have the chance to kickstart their careers by becoming an intern in Neuron’s Data team.
The Global Hackathon 2022 starts on October 15 and competing students have a fortnight to complete the challenge.
“It’s a great opportunity for students to put their data analysis skills to the test by tackling real-life scenarios using anonymised city data,” says Neuron Mobility chief technology officer Harry Yu.
