The Hatch invites you to come out for our June Hackathon!  THE RULES ARE SIMPLE- You have four hours- You can work individually or in teams- Make ANYTHING (feel free to plan your effort and assemble materials in advance, but your principle work must occur during the 4 hour period)- Present what you made- We all vote to declare a winnerThe event will be held at The Hatch in Chase Park Warehouses. Easiest way to get there is 160 Tracy StreetAthens, GA 30606 We are beside the Tree Room! Sponsored by Allgood Lounge   FAQs  How much does it cost? It's completely FREE! With dinner, snacks, and beverages provided. BUT Donations are GREATLY appreciated to help us continue to have these each month! Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? All ages are welcome -- our youngest hackathon winner was 3 years old! However, to partake in the adult beverages, you must show you're 21.  What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? Parking is available in the front of the building (easiest to find us), the back, and on the street.  I'm not a techie. Can I come?  While "hackathon" generally conjures the image of folks sitting in a room with their computers and having a massive coding marathon, that's not what the hackathons of the maker movement are all about. We encourage you to make ANYTHING. Most of our projects are physical objects of some kind. Some folks build furniture, some do oil paintings, some knit, some do tech based projects. The whole point is to see what you can accomplish in 4 hours. And it's really fun to try something new! What if I don't have a project? Can I still come? We highly encourage people to come even without a project in mind. You get to meet everyone, have pizza, and see what it's all about. "Make Anything" includes making friends. Plus! Usually there is a project that newcomers are PERFECT for helping on! We also have tons of things that you can learn to do like 3D printing, soldering, or prototyping.
