What do I bring?

We'll be providing all the food, snacks, drinks and merch to get you through the weekend.

But you'll need your own device to work on — don't forget your charger!

Yawn. Can we sleep over?

Don't forget to bring a toothbrush and some deodorant. We don't have showers.

I can't code, can I join?

If you're new to programming, a hackathon is the best place for you to go to.

There'll be plenty of mentors ready to assist you with whatever problem you face.

Don't hestitate to ask for help, we don't bite!

group

What about teams?

You may team up with up to three other people. Teams exceeding four people are ineligible for prizes.

Do not worry if you haven't got a team — you're not alone — we'll help you form a team at the event.
