Everything Students Ask Us
What if I don't know how to code?
You are exactly who this event is for! Most of our attendees are complete beginners. We kick off the morning with introductory coding workshops and pair you up with experienced mentors who will guide you every step of the way.
Do I need a team before signing up?
Nope! You can register completely solo. We run an active and fun team-formation block right after our opening ceremonies on Saturday morning so everyone finds a group of 2 to 3 peers.
What should I bring on hackathon day?
Bring a laptop, its charger, and a reusable water bottle. If you don't own a personal laptop, but you own a desktop, you may bring the desktop. If you cannot arrange a laptop, please try to borrow one from friends.
Is it actually completely free?
Yes, 100% free! Thanks to our generous community partners and sponsors, your entry tickets, food, and prizes are completely covered.
