<h1>What is a Hackathon?</h1>
</header>
<div class="content">
<p>A hackathon is a two-day event devoted to collaborative creation and coding. Over 48 hours, hackers pitch ideas, form groups, and build something awesome. Whether it’s a website, a mobile app, a flying computer, or an emotionally inept robot, if you find people who share your vision, you’ll get it done. No need for fancy presentations or polish: Just build.</p>
<h1>hack@uchicago’s Hackathon</h1>
<p>First things first, you should <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dHpVb3RSTFB5S3BCME9WVHpvaTBJS0E6MQ#gid=0" title="Hackathon RSVP">RSVP</a> so we can get a head count for food, drinks, &c. On Friday, February 10<sup>th</sup> (College Break Day—No classes!) come to the 4<sup>th</sup> floor of <a href="http://maps.uchicago.edu/mainquad/ryerson.html" title="Ryerson on UChicago Maps">Ryerson</a> at noon. Please note that <strong>the 4<sup>th</sup> floor of Ryerson will be locked</strong>—you must RSVP so that we can expect you and give you instructions. You’ll also need somewhere to stay overnight (sorry, University policy), but otherwise everything will happen in Ryerson. Here’s a rough schedule:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b>Pitch</b> — We start the day with ideas and pitches—not to a VC, just other hackers. Our theme generally is to <i>replace or augment one of the University’s student services</i>, but we’re open to all kinds of projects. You’re also free to change your idea throughout the Hackathon.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Team Up</b> — After you’ve found an idea you’d like to work on, you’re free to start hacking, but you might want a team first. If you don’t already have anyone in mind, don’t worry; we’ll help you find other hackers to work with.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Start Hacking</b> — Start working that website/app/algorithm/robot/robo-maid you’ve been dreaming up. We’ll provide the food and drinks, you provide the projects. If you think you’ll need anything in particular (electronics, data, fume hood…) just let us know ahead of time.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Demo</b> — On Saturday night (the 11<sup>th</sup>) we’ll wrap everything up and start the demos. If you can capture the audience votes, there is a <b>$100 cash prize</b> with your name on it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
