Stay up to date by following us on social media! And please, fill out the post event survey for your feedback on the event! VTHacks swag will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, so make sure to register early. Send us an email at hacker@vthacks.com and we'll get back to you! How does a virtual hackathon work? You should it expect the same setup of a normal hackathon: collaborations with teammates, exciting events, gaming tournaments. The only change is it's from the comfort of your home! Stock up on snacks!! Can I use my personal hardware? Of course! This year we unfortunately cannot supply participants with rented gear, but we encourage hackers to use anything they find valuable. If you don't have any breadboards lying around you are welcome to make use of hardware emulators as well! What if my internet connection is slow? We suggest you download any SDKs or developer tools prior to the event. But, besides that, if you can stream a video you can stream a hackathon. Will there be swag and prizes? Absolutely! We have developed a system specifically to award involvement and participation in VTHacks. If you make something fun and submit it to Devpost, we will make something fun and ship it on a first come first served basis, pending international shipping constraints. Can I use _____ to connect with my teammates instead of discord? You are welcome to use any platform you are familar with, however if hackers want to engage with mentors and sponsors we recommend using the discord voice channels we supply.
