Looking for something a little different to get stuck into this summer? SUSU's Summer Taskmaster is here to challenge your creativity, stretch your imagination, and bring a dose of fun to your week.
Inspired by the popular TV show, Taskmaster, this interactive challenge invites students to tackle quirky and inventive tasks set by SUSU each week. It's a great way to break up your routine, get creative, and connect with the wider student community.
How does it work?
Every Friday, a new task will be released via course communication channels. From there, it is over to you: interpret the challenge in your own unique way and submit your attempt by 16:00 the following Thursday.
The tasks are designed to be fun, unexpected, and open to interpretation, meaning there are no strict rules and plenty of opportunities to think creatively.
Why take part?
Whether you are competitive, creative, or simply curious, SUSU Summer Taskmaster offers something for everyone. By getting involved, you will:
- Challenge yourself with fresh, imaginative activities
- Showcase your creativity and problem-solving skills
- Take part in a shared, community-focused experience
- Have the chance to win prizes every week
Each week, the best submission will be chosen by two members of SUSU staff, with winners receiving a Dougie Bear prize.
How to get involved
Taking part is easy:
- Sign up here
- Keep an eye on your course communications for weekly tasks
- Submit your entry before the weekly Thursday deadline.
