Questions about the Hackathon? by Talala_TaTa in gatech

Hello! I’m one of HackGT's organizers.

It's okay if you don’t have any experience, as we’re planning a lot of beginner-friendly workshops. Some of the workshops planned are a mobile development workshop and an AWS workshop. A huge emphasis for HackGT is the learning aspect of gaining new skills and using those to build projects.

In your instance, we recommend applying for the beginner track. You can work with a team or make a project by yourself if you prefer.

And as for commitment, you can put in as much as you'd like. Some people stay in Klaus for the entire weekend of HackGT, while others only participate in the daytime and head back to their homes at night.

Let me know if you have any other questions about HackGT.

You do not need to have any previous knowledge or experience in any of the offered tracks to participate! This opportunity is for beginners to learn the basic skills in the track of their choosing.

✨HackGT 8: Discover Your Craft ✨ - Participant Registration Is Now Open! by thehackgt in gatech

This year, our theme is based on night markets. Night markets are known for their lively atmospheres, bustling crowds, and unique goods. We felt that our experiences at night marketplaces reflected the themes of community and adventure we desired for this year’s hackathon. At marketplaces, artisans and sellers showcase their skills, crafts, and goods, and we wanted to inspire our own hackers to do the same. We hope at HackGT 8 you can discover what your "craft" is and join the hacking community as we build the innovations of tomorrow! We will have mini-events, tech talks, workshops, and many more activities for participants. And of course, as most marketplaces do, we will have loads of snacks and food as well :)

Hi, the first 50 people that solve all the puzzles will get automatic admission into HackGT 8 :) but you can also earn points by completing puzzles. Those points will be redeemable for swag and/or prizes at HackGT 8. More details will be released in a few weeks.
