Can I start working on my project before the event?
No. All UGAHacks projects must begin at the hackathon. You are not permitted to begin a hackathon project before this event. Feel free to bring ideas, but no code!
What if I don't have a team or idea?
Don't sweat it! You're free to join any existing team or form a new one when you get there. We'll also provide ample opportunities for hackers to meet each other and brainstorm some amazing ideas.
How many people can I have on my team?
There is no hard limit, but we recommend teams be at most 4 people, as we only have prizes for 4 people per team.
Will you be offering travel reimbursements?
Yes, we will be offering travel reimbursements! Please make sure to note it on your registration and we will reach out to you upon acceptance. University of Georgia students are not eligible to receive travel reimbursements.
Where will I sleep?
We'll have designated sleeping areas for hackers, but they will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. You're welcome and even encouraged to bring a sleeping bag!
Can I volunteer / mentor at UGAHacks?
We love your enthusiasm! Volunteers and mentors can apply via the registration form above! If you have any questions regarding the position, please contact us at hackathon@uga.edu - Be sure to mention it in the subject. See you soon!
I have more questions?
That's not actually a question, but if you've got one then we'll be happy to answer it! Reach out to us at hello@ugahacks.com.
