Introduction

We want you to succeed not just in the hackathon, but beyond it. This event is designed to help you turn your ideas into digital products with startup potential. You’ll get hands-on mentorship, curated tools, and readings that support rapid prototyping, validation, and pitching.

Tools and Technologies

We will provide all participants with free access to the vibecoding platform Bolt.new during the event, helping teams quickly design, prototype, and deploy web or mobile apps—even for those with little or no coding experience.

Here are some resources to help you make the most of Bolt:

• Get started with Bolt
• Maximize token efficiency
• Prompt more effectively
• Best practises
• Plan your app
• Video tutorials on YouTube including Getting Started with Bolt.new.

Participants are also welcome to use other platforms or technologies if they prefer. Mentors will be available to support teams regardless of which tools are chosen.
