FAQ


A hackathon is a 12-hour programming marathon where your ideas come to life. Over the course of the weekend, students from all backgrounds and all skill levels collaborate in teams of up to four to something awesome. All participants must abide by the Code of Conduct.

No worries! This is the perfect time to learn how to code and all students, regardless of skill level and experience, are welcome. There will be plenty of mentors on hand glad to answer any and all questions and workshops specifically designed for those with no prior experience. Stay tuned for information about workshops!

We accept students 12-18. We expect some familiarity with coding in grades 7th and 8th ie if you plan to code. College students are welcome to help out as mentors!

No worries! It is not uncommon for people to come into the hackathon without an already-formed group, but we'll make sure you're matched with the right people! We will have a team formation and ideation session the first night so everyone can find the perfect team and come up with awesome ideas, so don't you worry first-time hackers!

Teams can be up to four people. While you may work as an individual, we highly encourage collaborating with others. If you don't have a team or need help finding one, make sure not to miss our team formation and ideation session on Saturday.

Just bring your id,laptop,charger,ideas and we will provide you with the food, WiFi, workspace, and swag!
