HOW?
It all begins with an idea.
Maybe you know what you want to create, maybe you don’t. Don’t worry! The setup facilitates the process.
1. Team Pairing (Roommates)
We will first announce the teams of two, who will also be roommates.
2. Selecting a Tech Focus Area
Each team of two must choose a tech focus area from the predefined list below.
Once a focus area is selected, it becomes unavailable to other teams.
Selection will follow a first-come, first-served basis, determined by a small game during the briefing.
3. Forming Teams of Four
After selecting a tech focus area, each team of two will be paired with another team of two to form a full team of four.
4. Defining the Project Goal
Each team of four will decide on what to create. you can use the product concepts listed below for inspiration
This will establish their project goal, which they can then explore and develop further as a team.
Teams
Each project team consists of 4 people (or two teams of two) where two tech areas are represented - and don’t forget to decide on a team name.
24h Hackathon
It’s a 24-hour hackathon where you - a team of 4 devs will try to co-create something. And remember - it’s not about presenting the most awesome stuff - its about presenting the insights and learnings you’ve had regarding your chosen tech focus back to the group.
Presentations
Each team of 4 will have 2 minutes to show off their creation using the pre-made presentation template.
