Hackathons are events where people compete to build interesting technical projects in just over 40 hours. People come together, form teams, brainstorm, share ideas, and help each other build awesome things. All skill levels are highly welcome, so don't be intimidated if you don't feel your coding is up to scratch.
Yep.
Yes! Thanks to our amazing sponsors we will be offering meals, snacks and drinks to everyone.
Everyone is welcome! As long as you are ready to bring your awesome idea to life and follow our simple guidelines you are good to come!

You're welcome to make a team before the event, but loads of people come without a team. At the start of the event, we'll help everyone find a team. One of the best things about hackathons is meeting hackers from all over the country.
