FAQs (Inspired from https://mlh.io/faq)
What is a hackathon?
A hackathon is best described as an “invention marathon”. Anyone who has an interest in technology attends a hackathon to learn, build & share their creations over the course of a weekend in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You don’t have to be a programmer and you certainly don’t have to be majoring in Computer Science.
What if I don't know how to code?
Not a problem! It’s entirely irrelevant what your experience is going into a hackathon, it’s more about your interest in technology. We are passionate about making our hackathon very welcoming and beginner-friendly. If you’re wanting to learn how to code outside of a hackathon, there’s <A HREF="https://medium.com/on-coding/you-can-already-code-you-just-dont-know-it-yet-862044601a5a" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">a fantastic blog post that you should read</A>.

What if I don't have an idea?
That’s normal. Most people don’t have an idea before they get to the event. But once you start talking to other people, you might come up with something. You can also work with somebody else on their idea if you like it. And there will be prizes at the event which might help give you some ideas. Don’t worry about it, you’ll find something to work on.
Will there be food?
Absolutely! All of your meals will be free and there’ll be plenty of snacks and drinks to keep you energized. If you’ve got specific dietary requirements, you should let us know and we’ll be more than happy to make arrangements.
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
Current students ages 16 - 26 are welcome. Please bring your ID.
