What to Build & Submission Guidelines
Dear Competitors.
We are now just 3 days out from the Hackathon! We are so excited to see what you come up with. We have posted a detailed description of What to Build at the event and the Submission Requirements to the "Resources" Tab. We also compiled most of the resources from the resource tab into a single information packet (available here and in the resources tab). We will have a hard copy of the information packet for each of you at the event. Look for a mix of mix of technical, public health/medical, and business/product experience.
Based on the number of competing teams, we are pleased to share that each team will now have 5 minutes to present their solution and up to 5 minutes for Q&A during the judging session on June 23.
In case you missed our update from yesterday:
1) A list of publicly available/open datasets has been added to the "Resource" tab on Devpost. You may use these or any other publicly available data set not on this list.
2) Team formation: Based on feedback from many of you, for those who registered as individuals, we will wait until the day of the event to assign you to a team. This will give you more time to connect to potential team members to make that choice yourself. During lunch we will reserve a few nearby tables for those looking for teammates (including pre-formed teams looking for additional members). If you have not found a team by the end of lunch, come see us at the registration table and we will assign you to a team (as a reminder, team size is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 people). We also encourage you to use the Devpost "find teammates" function over the next few days to reach out to potential team members to see if you would be a good fit together. If you form a team (or join an existing team) before the event begins, please email us at STIhackathon@nas.edu to let us know your team. Look for a mix of mix of technical, public health/medical, and business/product experience for your team.
3) As we receive questions from you, we will post them to a discussion thread in the discussion forum so all competitors benefit from the answers (during the event as well). You can opt-in on the discussion forum tab on Devpost to receive an email when something new is posted.
