All about hackathon

[vinzvinci]

I know some of you want to experience hackathon. And it's hard to find a team, so I make a discussion for all of you :)

Feel free to drop your details and maybe someone want to team up with you.

Examples:

• Hackathon details (optional, only when you have suggestion)
• Your skills
• Experience

Have zero experience? that will be okay, all of us starts with zero, so drop your details except personal information :)

Second option: Go to hackathon event, look for the team and make new friends.

What is hackathon?

• A hackathon is usually a day long (can be 24hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, etc.) coding competition where software programmers, developers, designers, etc. come together to build and design something cool.

Who can attend a hackathon?

• Anyone who is interested

Team size

• Depends, but mostly 4 or 5 max members

Why you should join a hackathon?

• It forces you to get out of your comfort zone
• It will improve your career development
• Learning opportunity
• It will help you to grow your professional network
• It will turn your business idea into reality
• Host your project into GitHub and get a green square
• And so many more benefits.
