List of hackathons in Whitby, Canada in 2018

Hello Fellow hackers!  The Blockchain Society is back, and this time with a blockchain Hackathon + Learnathon! What is a Hackathon + Learnathon you may ask? Well, with the increasing popularity of blockchain technology in the industry today, there comes a desire to always be ahead of the curve; with this event, we will bring you up to speed on some of the hottest tech to hit the blockchain space, which you can then use directly in your Hackathon projects to win great prizes! The Learnathon will commence in the morning on June 24th, and will continue in the afternoon. Once attendees have a firm grasp on the blockchain stack, the Hackathon will begin! We hope that this format will allow newcomers to the blockchain space to learn something new, and allow the veterans to hone their skills on the tech stack we are going to be working with during the event.

Fresh Code - We all start coding at the same time. It’s cool to work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but keep things within fair limits. 2. Code Review - Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh. 3. Ownership and IP - You own your IP and whatever you create. Simple as that. 4. Team Size - No more than five people. 5. Submissions - Each team will have a designated google drive folder where projects need to be submitted by the designated time. You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to do just that. 6. Demos - You’ll have 2 minutes to demo the functionality of your project and talk through your idea, and 1 minute for Q&A from judges. Judging How is the hackathon judged?Projects will be judged based on the following criteria, with a total of 5 points per criteria: Fundability: How fundable is this idea? Is there potential for a sustainable business model? Execution: How well was the project executed and explained? Did it work? UI/UX: Beyond design, was the end-to-end user experience for the solution considered? Originality: How original, creative or unique is the idea? Scalability: How scalable is the solution? Will it make an impact? Ambassadors - Will Mero (marketing@theblockchainsociety,ca) - Bill Hennessey Lead Sponsor Silver Sponsors Community Partners
