4 years. More than 250 hackathons. More than 72 cities around the globe. We’ve seen it all. And from all of these events, we’ve noticed one thing: Anyone. Can. Code. 
Age, race, gender, experience level, it doesn’t matter. Passion and dedication is what you need to create apps and technologies that have never been imagined before. Implementation and creativity are what differentiate you. Mind and skill are what conquer all.
Welcome to AngelHack’s 9th Global Hackathon Series, where Anyone. Can. Code.

Never been to an AngelHack hackathon? You’re in for a treat! Here's what you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkgX2eo-HtE" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">expect</a>.

Day 1 09:00 AM : Doors Open to Attendees / Breakfast of Champions10:30 AM : Opening Ceremony and Sponsor Talks12:00 PM : Coding Begins01:00 PM : Lunch07:00 PM : DinnerDay 2 08:00 AM : Breakfast12:00 PM : Lunch01:00 PM : Hackathon Ends / Submissions due on hackathon.io.02:00 PM : Demos Begin / Demos only / No Slide Decks(If your demo doesn’t work, take us through the code of what you did and where you got stuck. It’s about showing what you’ve learned and not about pitching an idea)04:00PM: Winners are Announced / Prizathon!
Schedule subject to awesome changes. Stay Tuned!

We know some rules are meant to be broken, but you should probably stick by these:
1. Fresh Code
We all start coding at the same time. This is done to keep things fair. No one is allowed to come in and build on top of previous projects. It’s cool to work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but keep things within fair limits.
2. Code Review
Winning teams will be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh.
3. Ownership and IP
Teams have full ownership of everything they build at our events and are free to do with it as they wish.
4. Team Size
Teams of up to 5 humans are allowed. You can also add 1 cyborg, Furby, drone, or Sphero.
5. Submissions
Each hackathon has its individual <a href="http://hackathon.io/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">hackathon.io</a> page, which projects should be submitted on. Submissions take place after 24 hours of pure hacking.
6. DEMO your Hack
You must demo your hack in order to present. No slide-decks or Powerpoint will be allowed. Two minute presentation and one minute Q&amp;A from Judges.
7. Have a damn good time!


What should I build?
Let your gut guide you! We usually like to see projects that are innovative, and have the potential to improve or influence people’s lives. Try to build a hack that people can use, enjoy, and potentially scale. Most importantly, have fun with it and try to finish on time. We know you can only do so much in 24 hours, so it’s ok if your project is not perfect (yet).

Who can attend?
Anyone and everyone! Our attendees typically consist of junior developers looking to improve their skills, senior developers looking to expand their horizons, designers of all skill-sets, and serious entrepreneurs that can add value to teams. Bring your idea and let’s go!
If hackathon has sold out, we’ll allow in those with tickets first, and waitlisters IF there is still room.
Are there travel stipends?
Unfortunately, we cannot provide travel stipends for our global series.

How is the hackathon judged?
Let’s be honest, y’all can do better than Powerpoints. Which is why we rock with live DEMOS only! No exceptions. To win an AngelHack hackathon, you will have to demo your product for at least 30 seconds, but don’t worry if your project is still not 100% perfected. Projects will be judged based on the following criteria:

<ul>
<li>Impact: How impactful will this solution be for it’s target audience? Is it scalable?</li>
<li>Creativity: How original is this solution?</li>
<li>Design: How well designed is this solution, from front end through to UI/UX?</li>
<li>Execution: How well executed is this solution from start to finish?</li>
</ul>

Last thing. In this day and age of #selfies and #squad photos, it’s likely that photos and/or video will be taken at the event. By entering the venue, you’re giving us the OK to snap photos and post to social media.
