Hack'o Latern - Immersive Hackathon Experience

Join us for a chilling coding night that will haunt your bytes and bits this Halloween! Dive deep into the spooky spirit and let your creativity run wild. This year, we're pushing for fun and immersive experiences that not only demonstrate your technical prowess but also capture the very essence of Halloween fun (can include participatory acting from the crowd/audience - holistic experiences not just digital). Here's what the crypt has in store for you: 🕠 Kickoff: The eerie evening begins at 5:00pm on Friday. Grab your toolkit and let the hacking commence! And if you dare, let the spirits guide you as you hack overnight, under the pale moonlight. Whether you're a lone sorcerer or part of a coven, all night owls and day dwellers are welcome to weave their coding spells. 🧙‍♂️ Judging Session: On Saturday, at the witching hour of 4pm, our panel of spectral judges will evaluate the projects. Aspire for that seamless blend of technical genius and spine-chilling fun. Enchant us with your spirited and delightful projects! 🎉 Halloween Showcase Party at Pebblebed: The most captivating experiences will be resurrected to be showcased at the grand Halloween party on the same day (Saturday) link here: https://lu.ma/fiiwg5p8 Remember, it's not just about coding; it's about crafting experiences that are not only ingenious but dripping with Halloween cheer! 🕸️ Costumes Encouraged – Embrace the haunted Halloween atmosphere to its fullest, both in your projects and your attire! Gear up for a night of code, creativity, and contagious fun. Prepare to have a boo-last! Join us, if you dare... 🦇👻🔮 Pro-tip: start thinking about what you are going to be working on ahead of time and acquire additional materials ahead of time (for your hack project).
