The Hack?!? What is a hackathon?

There are different types of Hackathon, but the one at ETHBerlin Zwei has two purposes:

1. Competing for sponsor prizes by incorporating their technologies into a project.
2. Contributing to the broader Ethereum ecosystem with novel or amazing ideas, or contributing to existing projects.

Help?!? But I've never been to a Hackathon before!

That's fine, you are most welcome here, everyone brings valuable skills to a hackathon. But we're sure you have some questions.

Do I have to be a developer?

No! In fact, we welcome anyone who brings different skills to a hackathon. Wether you want to help as a designer, project manager, give UX advice, write documentation, or something else. Often the projects that do well at hackathons are the ones that focus on more than just code.

Last, but not least: Read our Community Code of Conduct! Enjoy Berlin! <3
