Requirements
What to Build
You can build anything you'd like, whether it pertains to a track or not we want to see your projects shine! Hack Knight is here to gather creative minds to innovate and compete, so show us what you've got! Also, this hackathon is beginner-friendly, so we don't expect you to create fully-fledged projects
What to Submit
- Live demo required to win a track (science fair style)
- For any design hacks, all material must be submitted (i.e. figma, prototype, ...) and you must make it known in your presentations that your project is just a design
- For software, all code must be submitted via a GitHub link (any code pushed past the deadline or before the start of the hackathon will be disqualified)
