Stupid Hackathon Amsterdam 2018

A one-day event where participants conceptualize and create projects that have no value whatsoever. 

First of all, we are super excited to be hosting the THIRD annual Stupid Hackathon in Amsterdam! Last year's event was a success! It also means we will probably be full capacity again, so it is very important that if you decide not to or can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket on Eventbrite or email us at stupidhackathonAMS@gmail.com so we can notify our waitlisted participants!

Stupid Hackathon Slack Channel:

We will send an invite to sign up for our official Stupid Hackathon Slack channel to every participant.  It is not mandatory to join, but…. It could be really beneficial if you don’t have a project idea worked out and wanna find a project to join. Also, if you need hacking supplies, it could be useful to see what others are bringing and coordinate. Again, it’s completely optional.

What to Expect at the Hackathon:

B.Y.O.S:

Our event is B.Y.O.S - Bring Your Own Shit - We are only supplying power outlets and wifi. So, if you need duct tape, scissors, hardware, soldering iron, sensors, etc, you must bring this yourself! This would be a good time to use the slack channel and try to coordinate with other participants if you need specific things or wanna share supplies! C’mon, let’s help each other out! :)
