FAQ's
- Can I come ready as a team? Can I participate as an individual? I don't have a team, but wish to come along, can I do so?
We recommend that you work as a team. We have found the most successful team size is between 3 to 4, but teams can be more or less. If you don’t have a team then we’ll help you to form one at the Info Session or on opening evening.
- When is the info session?
The Info Session is held approximately one week before the hackathon. We will announce the exact details closer to the event via email, social media and on our website.
- I won’t be able to make it for the full weekend, can I still come?
If you are unable to make one of the days/nights, that’s OK. Just your team members know so you can work it out as a group - treat it like any project! If you haven’t formed a team yet and cannot make the Friday night, drop us an email and we’ll try to put you in a team so that you’re ready on Saturday.
- What is the cost? What does it involve?
Tickets cover the full weekend. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffees and drinks all weekend! It also includes industry mentoring and tech startup experts.
- When will the challenges be released? Can we start working earlier?
Descriptions of the challenges will be released the week before the event. All code, design and assets must be created during the hackathon or be freely available to the public (open source). Attend the info session prior to the hackathon in order to get prepared.
- Who owns what we make at the event?
All teams retain full ownership of what is created during the event, barring any prior agreements you might have with employers, universities, etc... You own 100% of the IP that you create!
- Can I just come and check it out?
Of course! Observer tickets are available to come down to Friday night kick-off and pitches on Sunday.
