Requirements
What to Build
Choose one of the following challenges. These are not separate tracks and all teams will be competing in one group.
Challenge 1: Sports Understanding
Challenge 2: Ecology and Environment
Challenge 3: Wildcard
We’re looking for built solutions. We will reference code but are relying on submissions to present your work. We want to see well rounded teams. We understand there is only so much that can be accomplished during a 24hr hackathon, but you will need to present a solution which is both technically proficient as well as meeting a real need with potential for big impact.
We want to see you showcase your abilities even if your solution is not fully polished. Dream big and demonstrate your approach to solving hard problems. Participants are encouraged to think creatively and leverage the provided resources to develop groundbreaking solutions that push boundaries.
How you solve the problem is not important. You can create a web or mobile app, service, or whatever format you think is best.
Good luck!
What to Submit
- A working prototype or demo of your solution
- Source code repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
- A brief demo/presentation (5 minutes max) explaining your approach, technologies used, and potential impact. You will link a video for submission (Loom, Vimeo, YouTube, etc.)
- Documentation outlining setup instructions and API usage. This can be in your code repo or provided as part of your submission
