The ALT+F Hackathon is a challenge for 3 different kinds of audiences:
If you have several ideas that might provide a solution for one of the challenges but you don't understand anything about programming or if you're a programmer but have no connection with people development or social impact projects, you can still participate by finding a team with complementary skills.
You can either sigh up by already having a team or as an individual. To create a team you can use the features of matchmaking on TAIKAI, learn more here: https://docs.taikai.network/participant/matchmaking.
The teams must be of 4 to 6 members and as interdisciplinary as possible.
The ALT+F Hackathon is a 100% online and borderless challenge. A prep-session will be held before the start of the Hackathon to clarify all the rules, timelines and provide further instructions for the event days.
Apart from the prep-session, information regarding Training Sessions and other relevant details will be released through the organization’s communication channels.
From the 1st to the 10th of September there will be a period of Training in which everyday there will be sessions on topics that can help you structure your project. During this period the teams are expected to reunite and work on their project to meet the due date. On the 10th September at 23:59 WEST the teams have to submit their deliverables and on the 11th and 12th of September with the pitch sessions. Winners will be announced during the 17th September, the Conference Day of The Alternate Future Summit 2021.
We expect the projects to be created on this Hackathon to be creative and innovative technological solutions for the problems presented in the challenges. The project includes two deliverables: a Minimum Viable Product in the adequate format for the solution proposed and a pitch deck with information about the problem, the solution provided and a plan for its execution.
We encourage the team to strongly structure the project regarding the possibility to be executed in the future.
There are 4 evaluation criteria.
The ALT+F Hackathon includes 7 different challenges and each one will have one winner. The winning team of each challenge wins 1000.00$. Plus, every challenge may have additional prizes to be announced depending on the challenge sponsor.
