• All design elements, code, hardware builds, etc. for your project must be created during the event. Third party tools and frameworks are allowed as well as your normal tooling (Django, NPM, Flask, etc.). While you may not begin coding in advance, you can plan and discuss with your team in advance. Written documents and design sketches are allowed.  You may also incorporate pre-existing material that is freely available to the public into your project, such as public domain images, Creative Commons music, open source libraries, existing APIs and platforms, and the like.
• Projects must involve writing significant software, though hardware may be incorporated.
• Teams must be comprised of 1-4 people.
• Teams that choose to demo will be given 3 minutes to present their projects to judges.
• Any intellectual property developed during the hackathon will belong to the team that developed it. We expect that each team will have an agreement between themselves regarding the IP, but this is not required.
• The prizes not specified otherwise will be awarded solely based on the decision of the judging panel.
• Please treat all other hackers with utmost respect.  We ask that you act kindly, behave professionally, and do not insult or put down other attendees.  Remember that harassment and racist, sexist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for this event. If at any point you see a fellow hacker being harassed, please talk to the nearest hackathon organizer.
• Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
