DigiEduHack will have a duration of 8 days, kicking off with an opening event on 8 November and closing on 17 November. The Main Stage event will take place on the 20th of November. See your local organiser’s page for more information about the schedule and timeline for the challenge of your choice.
Can I participate in the hackathon remotely, or do I have to attend in person?
DigiEduHack will take place in Europe and beyond, and the format of the hackathons depends on your host organisation. You can attend online, onsite or even blended hackathons. Consult your local organiser’s page and the specific challenge to learn more.
What is the expected level of expertise or skills required to participate in DigiEduHack?
You can join DigiEduHack and its local events both with or without a team!
In case you join without a team, you will be put in contact with peers in the same situation through the Discord channel associated with your chosen challenge, and your host may propose “matchmaking sessions” to help you find your team.
In case you join with a pre-existing team, make sure you mention it in your registration to the challenge.
Can I work on an existing project, or do I have to start my solution from scratch?
You don't necessarily have to start from scratch, but you must make demonstrable progress on anything that you began before the hackathon. (You cannot simply bring a ready-made solution and be eligible to win a prize.)
