A hackathon is a day-long event where attendees can compete for prize categories, attend workshops, and participate in fun activities and games. Competing is completely optional! You can also choose which workshops/activities you want or don't want to attend based on your interests.
Short answer: Nope! Long answer: HopperHacks is a beginner-friendly hackathon, so please do not feel as if you need to have any coding experience to participate. If you do not know how to code but want to learn and have fun, we have workshops and activities throughout the event for you to attend. We know that hackathons can be intimidating for many first-time hackers, and so we want this to be a learning and fun experience for you to become more comfortable with working with others, developing new skills, and letting your creativity shine under a time constraint.
We welcome all undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of gender, major and school! Open to programmers and designers of all skill levels. Coding experience is not required.
