El Hackathon Rules:

  1. Code

All projects must be programmed at El Hackathon. Code must be fresh and not pasted from previous projects. Frameworks (like wordpress, bootstrap, angular js, processing/arduino etc.) or APIs (google,facebook, instagram,foursquare, twitter, etc.) to speed up development are highly encouraged. Make sure you list which frameworks were used. Prior to El Hackathon you may work on your logo, wireframes, design, idea validation, mockups, you name it. But no coding beforehand.

  1. Code Review

Hacker teams will be subject to a code-review to ensure everything was built at the hackathon.

  1. Remember this is a hack!

Feel free to use any frameworks, hosting service, languages, tools, workarounds, tricks or shortcuts you’ve discovered over the years to help you build quicker.

  1. Teams

you must have at least one other person in your team to participate, no robots allowed as your only teammate. Ideal team size is 3-4 people. Robots, androids and other “chatarras” can tag along if they really want.

  1. What to Build

Execute a unique idea around our theme; community, health, education and business.

  1. Intellectual Property

Ownership of I.P. and code belongs to the team that created it. Your team has full ownership of your product and are free to do as they wish with it.

  1. Submissions

We will be using a hackathon.io to organize and list project for review. A group of judges will take a look at all the projects and make a decision based on your project demo.

  1. Last and Most Important Rule

HAVE FUN! It’s El Hackathon! A chance to experiment, collaborate and socialize for the sake of creativity and innovation.
