FAQ

STUPID HACKATHON YEG IS AN 18+ EVENT:
SORRY KIDDOS! ONLY ADULTS GET TO BE STUPID.

\\PREP WORK

How much prep work can you do? As long as you don't build, sew, cut, compile, or otherwise move your idea into production you're good. Feel free top make plans, create workflow diagrams, scribble your materials list on the back of a used napkin, but the actual build happens the day of the event.

​

\\TEAMS? 

Feel free to team up with other people! You can create teams before the event or AT the event; whichever you please. You can also totally work solo, like a rebel-lone-wolf-dracula, and that's cool, too.

​

​

\\MATERIALS

We might have a box of junk you can sift through but otherwise you have to provide your own materials or tools. Do not count on us! We can not be counted on! You will be allowed to leave the premises if you need to grab more materials or tools for your build but, c'mon, it's more fun to make do with what is on hand!

​

​

\\SABOTAGE

GDI! Play nice! That being said, chirping is totally allowed. Smack-talk is motivational! Just try not to be total jerks to each other and, remember, what we're building is stupid and useless and really isn't worth getting your shorts in a twist over.

 

\\PRESENTATION

If you want to make a video? Do it! Just upload it to YouTube or Vimeo and share it with us. Slide show? Suuuure, go for it! Just want to stand there and show you the thing you made? Awesome! The presentation is juts to share your awesomely stupid invention and give the judges a chance to judge you!

 

\\PRIZES

THERE WILL BE PRIZES! YOU MIGHT REGRET WINNING ONE! >:D
