Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The AI tools generate code for you. You describe what you want in plain English. Mentors handle everything technical. If you can write an email, you can build at this hackathon.
What if I don't know what to build?
That's what the Problem Clarity Sprint is for. In the first 45 minutes, mentors help you pinpoint your exact business problem and scope it for the day. Many people arrive without a plan and leave with a working tool.
What do I actually leave with?
A working prototype you can use, demo, and keep building. Plus $200+ in free AI tool credits so you can keep going after the event. And a certificate, if that matters to you.
