FAQs
What is a Hackathon?
Hackathons are NOT just for programmers. A Hackathon is a short, pressurized competition where a group come together to design, develop, and demonstrate their ideas on center stage! Usually at the start we give you context about a problem/challenge statement, and then it's up to you to come up with creative ideas! We expect your teams to develop a rough Minimum Viable Product so you can pitch your idea and show the judges what you've come up with on the Sunday afternoon. Read more here.
Who can participate in a Hackathon?
Anyone with an open mindset can participate. Because this is a Hackathon focused around launching business ideas, helping individuals getting into the tech industry and upskilling software developers, we need a mix of business, design, technical, creative and industry experts to collaborate and work together as teams.
I am under 18 years. Can I participate?
This event is for individuals who are over 18 years only.
Do I need to form a team before we join the Hackathon?
No, we will be giving you time at the start of the Hackathon to network and meet other people. Teams should be between 2-4 members. We encourage you to bring your friends!
What do I need to bring to the Hackathon?
Bring your laptop and charger, notepads and pens, an open mindset and positive attitude!
Who owns the Intellectual Property of the solution at the Hackathon?
We don't own anything, you do! We also abide by the Hack Code of Conduct
