Who can attend? As long as you are a current (full-time / part-time) undergraduate / postgraduate  students in Hong Kong with age of 18 or above, you're welcome to join. Don’t worry that you are not experienced enough – we will have experts in the field to bring you up to speed.
 
Seats are limited, we may select the participants based on few criteria. Successful participants will receive our confirmation by end April and will be invited to join the briefing session on 13 May (Tentative).
 
How to form a team? We think 5 people a team is a perfect combo. You can form a team in 4 – 5 people and share different roles in the team, such as designer, developer and technical specialist. If you have formed your team before registration, we suggest you registering your team’s tickets in one go. If you don’t have a team, you can form it during the briefing session.    
 
To ensure you are well-prepared, we strongly recommend at least one of your team members to attend the briefing session. Otherwise you will miss something very important about this event. 
 
What should I bring? Laptop, mobile phone, chargers… your brain and energy! Tip: Bring a sleeping bag to grab comfortable naps during the Hackathon.
 
Will we provide software / hardware? You can create an interesting working prototype leveraging IBM Watson APIs and Data Science Experience tool (or any other toolset you are authorized to use). You can also feel free to use any publicly available datasets.
 
Who owns my prototype in the Hackathon? It’s definitely yours for sure! The team that develops the prototype is its owner and we will not claim any intelligent ownership right from you.
 
Do I need to pay for the event? It’s free! 100% free! Admission is free and includes food, drinks, support and loads of fun!
