About the Challenge

Join us for a thrilling 38-hour hackathon that challenges you to code the change you want to see in the world.

Requirements

What to Build

At Hack the Flow, we want you to unleash your creativity and build innovative solutions for social good. Whether you choose to work on a web app, a mobile app, or something else entirely, we encourage you to think outside the box and push your limits. Feel free to submit low-code/design-based projects as well!

What to Submit

At Hack the Flow, we're excited to see what you've built and how you've tackled the challenges we've presented. To make sure that we can properly evaluate your project, we ask that you submit the following items:

  1. Demo Video: Create a 2-3 minute video that showcases your project in action. Your video should demonstrate the main features and functionality of your solution, and highlight the problem it solves and the impact it can have. Be sure to make your video engaging and easy to follow, and use visuals and audio to enhance your presentation.
  2. Code Repository: Share the code for your project on a public code repository such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Make sure that your code is well-organized, documented, and easy to read and understand. If you're using third-party libraries or APIs, include clear instructions on how to install and configure them.
  3. Team Information: Provide some basic information about your team, such as the team name, the names and roles of team members, and a brief description of each member's background and skills. You may also include a team photo or logo if you'd like.

REQUIRED: Please only submit new projects that have never been previously worked on before. Do not begin working on your project until the hackathon officially starts (6:00 PM CST, Friday, March 10, 2023).

REQUIRED: In order for your submission to be judged, you must report your 1) team's name and 2) skill division. Please select between Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Low/No-Code. You may only select one division for your team as a whole. Projects lacking this information cannot be judged! (For example, Name: The Chocolate Bananas; Skill Division: Beginner)

Once you've prepared your submission, one person from your team will upload it to the designated platform or email it to the organizers by the submission deadline (8:00 AM CST, March 12, 2023). We'll review all submissions carefully and select the best ones for prizes and recognition. Happy coding and good luck to all! <3
