Some Hackathons Are Free. Why The Entry Fee?

We would love to do this for free! But like all great events and good times, everything has a cost. You will receive 2.5 days of food, beverages, and...a fun lifetime learning experience. Build your skills, be a hero, invent your future now! Where there is a Will, there is a Way. 

Is This An Overnighter?

Yes. In fact, two overnights: Friday, and Saturday. Hacking starts right after the hackathon kickoff on Friday. The venue will be open at all times during this time. You are welcome to bring your pillows and sleeping bags for overnight hacking. 

What should I bring? Will I need my own laptop?

Bring your laptop, phone, chargers, etc. Sleeping bags and toiletries are highly recommended. We have sufficient wifi, powerstrips, and bean bags for your use.

How do I form or join a team?

Each team will have at least one Draper University student. Each team can have a maximum of 5 people.
