Hackathon Details:
Transportation: When you register for the event, please indicate if you need a ride or can offer a ride so we can plan accordingly. A shuttle to/from Jigsaw Renaissance's old location (1026 Madison St on First Hill) will be provided both days of the event. Additional logistics support provided by Willow. In short, we’ll get you to/from the event so you can focus your brainmeats on the important things.
What to bring: your laptop and your brain. Water, snacks, and meals during the event will be provided.
Event Overview:
Saturday: We’ll start with introductions where we’ll learn what you can do and what we need. Then we’ll break into groups for planning, and present our plan of attack just before lunch. We’ll get to work just after lunch and have a stand-and-report just before dinner. You are encouraged to be present by 10:30. Though the event day officially ends at 6pm, you’re welcome to burn the midnight oil and stay as long as you like.
Sunday: Hacking officially resumes at 10am, and continues until the next stand-and-report, before lunch. Projects must be done by 17:00 Sunday, with prizes announced Sunday at 18:00.
Judging will be based on progress, documentation, and usability - not just innovation.
