    FRequently asked questions?

    What is a hackathon?

    A hackathon is an event where participants (hackers) team up to
    find solutions and concepts in a short period of time, tackling the
    stated problems. The goal is to give everyone the opportunity to
    use their abilities for the common good and to strengthen
    community engagement.

    What will the participants accomplish?
    Apart from Coding and Robotics experience, the participants would gain exposure towards Product Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Techpreneur). We are aspiring each and every participate to be a product innovators in 21st century.
    How much does it cost to attend Hack the Crisis?
    Admission is completely free!
    What do I need to participate in the event?
    A laptop or computer with internet connection, so that you can work on your project, attend workshops, and meet our industry leaders!
    When the hack the crisis topics will be shared?
    The topics/ themes will be shared on or before Nov 3rd so that participants will have 2 weeks (Nov 3 through Nov 17) to work on their product/ solution and submit the application by Nov 17th.
    I (or my child) don’t know anything about Hack-a-thon. Who can help?

    For both parents and students, we will be hosting a series of education sessions about “Hackathon 101” during the following time slots – Oct 30th 6 pm- 7 pm, Oct 31st 11 am- 12 pm, Oct 31st 3 pm- 4 pm, Nov 1st 11 am- 12 pm, Nov 1st 3 pm- 4 pm. You can select one of options. Note: All time zones in EST.

    Why it's important to participate during early years ?

    We are bringing innovation from the corporate world to schools. Hack-a-thon(s) allow kids to create new ideas and concepts, to learn product development and the market. Kids learn how to collaborate intensively over a short period of time in an agile approach to innovate new products/ solutions.

    Who can participate?

    Age group: 8-17
    No previous hack-a-thon experience or knowledge of coding
    is required. Only common sense, creativity and motivation!

    How will communication work during the event?

    All pre-event messaging will be done via email. During the event, we’ll use a few online tools to keep everyone in the loop.

    Can I sign up with my friends?
    Yes, but everyone must individually sign-up (which has the consent form – the critical step in the process). If you don’t have a team, no problem! We will run team formation sessions.
    When is the application deadline?
    As long as you register and submit the project by the deadline date of Nov 17th 11:59 pm EST, you’re good!
    My child is not familiar with coding. How can he/ she participate?
    For students (in age group 8-17) who are not familiar with coding, we will be conducting two workshops on Nov 7th 12 pm-1 pm EST and Nov 14th 12 pm-1 pm EST. Feel free to sign up for either one of them.
