What is an Hackathon?

A hackathon is week-end long invention marathon where people compete to build technical prototypes in a short period of time (24-36 hours). With the help of workshops and mentors you can build an app, a website, a robot—the possibilities are endless!

Codetivate is open to anyone passionate about tech!

Is there a cost to participate?

No, it’s free, thanks to our amazing sponsors!

How can I participate?

This year, Codetivate will run virtually and use platforms like Hopin, Discord, and Zoom. We will provide more details on how to participate as we get closer to the date.

What skills do I need to participate?

Codetivate is beginner friendly! We have introductory workshops tailored to first-time hackers. If you want to fine tune your skills, join our community of learners on Discord.

How do I find a team?

While you have the option to work alone, if you want to submit your project you must work with at least one other person. Don’t worry if you don’t have a team—you’ll have plenty of opportunities to find one virtually! Codetivate will be hosting a variety of team formation activities, and we will also have a Discord channel dedicated to team formation leading up to and during the event.

How do I create a team?

Teams can consist of 2-4 hackers. You can form a team before the hackathon, and there will be team formation events prior to the event. We highly encourage that advanced hackers bring on beginner hackers to mentor throughout the event.

How do I submit my project?

Your project will be submitted through Devpost. Your submission must include a video demo (no longer than 2 minutes) that showcases your project, a basic description of your project, and the challenge(s) for which you want your project to be considered. More details will be shared ahead.

How do I attend the workshops?

All workshops, activities and events will be taking place virtually and livestreamed to YouTube so you can catch up with the ones you missed.

How do I find a mentor?

Mentoring will all be done through Discord. To request a mentor, send a message in the #ask-a-mentor channel and one will be in touch with you as soon as they are available!

How do I get hired at Codetivate?

Make sure to attend the Career Fair because recruiters will be there. You should also complete your profile, upload your resume, and also check the jobs portal for job postings. Once it goes live.
