Q&A

Yes, the event is free to attend. The Emory Hacks team will be providing food and swag for all hackers attending the event.

The event is located at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School at 1300 Clifton Rd N E, Atlanta, GA 30322. You can park at the Fishburne Parking Deck, Oxford Road Parking Deck, and Gambrell Parking deck, which you can see on this campus parking site - https://transportation.emory.edu/visitor-parking

This event is open to any students. It is beginner friendly, with workshops to help you learn during the event, and mentors available to help you as you work on your project. Attendees must be at least 13 years old due to child privacy laws. If under 18, you can attend, but will need to fill out a liability form from the university.

You can be on teams of up to 4. We will have a team building activity right after the opening ceremony if you need to find team members!

We will not be providing travel reimbursements at this time.

Please bring your laptop, battery packs, chargers, headphones, ID (Government Issue), blanket, pillow, and personal toiletries.

You cannot start until after the opening ceremony. You may come up with ideas, but are not allowed to start coding. You cannot work on a previous project, but can use frameworks if you clearly credit them in your readme and differentiate what you made vs what you used.

No, you can leave and come back if you would prefer to go to bed. Here are some suggestions: University Inn at Emory, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlanta North Druid Hills, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Atlanta Midtown, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta - Emory University

The hackathon will provide workshops, panels with speakers, and much more!

A hackathon is an event where students “hack” together and create an app, website, game, etc. in 24-48 hours. There will be no malicious 'hacking'.

We do not have hardware available, but you are welcome to bring your own. Due to building fire codes, please do not bring soldering kits.

We will send out acceptances after the November 1st application deadline or when the maximum amount of hackers we can support is reached. Applications will close November 1st at 11:59 PM. There will be a waitlist the day of the event for any local hackers who want to fill the spots of any accepted hackers who do not attend.
