FAQs

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

Are hackathons just for technical people?

This is a common misconception. Many skills are needed in any complex endeavour, particularly the creation of a new technology, which requires research, design, product management, data science, software development, marketing, business model innovation, and domain expertise. Teamwork wins. Whatever your skillset, there is a way you can contribute with a complementary team.
