What if I've never been to a hackathon before?
That's the best reason to come out! Cutie Hack is open to people of all skill-levels. We'll have workshops and activities, along with mentors to help get you started and turn your project into reality.

All you need is a working device (i.e your laptop or PC) and a stable internet connection. If you are attending online, create a Discord and/or Zoom to help you participate.
Where will we submit?
You will submit through Devpost. Further instructions will follow on the day-of the event.
What if I don't have a team?
If you don't have a team formed prior to Cutie Hack, we will have a channel on Discord where you can find other participants that share similar interests. We'll also be providing activities at the beginning of the event to help you form teams. Teams aren't required though, so feel free to work individually.
Do I have to hack or make a project?
Not at all! You can attend a workshop just to learn, network with fellow hackers, and participate in games and raffles. You'll be able to find the schedule on our website as we get closer to the event.
If I'm residing outside of the U.S., can I still attend and/or win a prize?
Those outside of the U.S. can still attend, compete, and win. However, due to shipping restrictions and COVID, we won’t be able to send any physical items to those residing outside of the U.S.
