A hackathon is an event where programmers, engineers and designers collaborate intensively to create a project in a limited amount of time. In the hackathon, you will come up with an original idea together with your team, develop and present it to your peers and judges. A example "hack" could be a website, a game, a robot, or a mobile app that applies to the theme of the hackathon.

Life Hacks is all about increasing productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life. Participants have 12-hours to create a product that makes everyday life more convenient. They can create web applications, mobile applications, hardware hacks and much more.

Everyone must have a group of 3-4 people. Teams can be premade, or made during the hackathon. Official Team Creation will take place during the hackathon, so that attendees who drop out or dont have groups can form or join a team.

No, all projects must be built from scratch.

Systems Hacks is a beginner-friendly hackathon and we welcome students of all levels. There will be mentors to help you out if you have any problems or questions.

Students of any education level are eligible to participate in System Hacks.

Think of an example Idea/Solution. Imagine how you would build it during the event, and learn what would be necessary to acheive it. Mentors are available at the hackathon to teach and guide you, and the event is an opportunity to learn spontaneously and be creative!
