No worries! It’s helpful to have some software engineering experience, but it’s not a requirement. Projects often need designers, front-end engineers, project managers, and more. Find a team that needs your skill set and join the fun!

If you love to code, you are more than welcome to participate in the Hackathon.

Not necessarily! Ideally you showcase as much as you can about your ideal solution, but the most important thing is to meet the bounty requirements outlined in the bounty.

Do I need to be online and available for the entire duration of the Hackathon?

No, you don't need to be online for any specific hours during the Hackathon. However, we will be hosting workshops and events you'll likely want to attend.
