What exactly is a hackathon?
A hackathon is an event in which software developers, designers and entrepreneurs come together and work on an idea for a few days. The event will be sponsored by companies, that means we have exciting prizes and planned key notes for you! There is also a career fair waiting for you to be checked out and of course free food and drinks.
How many people will the hackathon have?
We're planning with 120 attendees, 80% students and 20% professionals!
What can I build?
Anything your heart desires! Hardware, web, mobile, gaming; you name it, we’ll support it.
What about hardware?
We’ll have a hardware lounge with plenty of boards, tools, and gadgets for you to check out!
Â
Do I have to be a programmer to attend?
NO! We're looking for a diverse group of people who want to work on an idea for a few days.
You're a designer? Help create the user interface.
You're a business rockstar? Help create a business or customer plan.
You want to try coding for the first time? We will have introduction workshops that will give you a first glance about coding.
How do I find a team?
A team has to be smaller than 5 people. On the first day, we will have a short pitch event. That means, you can come with an idea and tell everyone what you're looking for or you get inspired by other people.
Â
Team Sizes?
Maximum team size is 5 but of course you also can work in projects on smaller teams, there is no minimum size.
Â
Overnight Stay?
Sure! We'll have a sleeping room available with 20 campbeds, though we recommend you to bring some things to make yourself comfortable.
Â
What should I bring to the event?
Your computer (laptop or desktop), any electronics want to use, chargers, toiletries and a sleeping bag or blanket and pillow if you're planning to stay over night and we hope you will! And of course, your student ID.
Â
Headstart?
Only projects started at the hackathon will be eligible for prizes.
