<h2>Welcome to HawkHacks!</h2><p>HawkHacks came out of a desire to give everyone an equal opportunity to get into tech, whether that be programming, networking, researching, learning, or teaching. Join hundreds of students across Canada (and across the world) in a 36 hour period of exploration, creativity, and learning! Remember, you don't have to be a pro to participate - show up with ten years or ten minutes of experience (oh yeah, and a great attitude too!).</p><p><br /></p><h2>Requirements</h2><h3>What to Build</h3><p>You can build anything! We don't have a "theme" or anything of the sort, so try to be as creative and inspirational with what you create. We highly recommend and encourage teams to use multiple sponsors' technologies, as they fit nicely with each other! </p><p><br /></p><h2>Categories</h2><p>Please refer to the "Categories" page for more information.</p><p><br /></p><h3>PROJECT &amp; SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS</h3><ul><li>The code is to be written during the duration of the event (May 17th, 9:20 PM ET -  May 19th, 10 AM EST).</li><li>The project must be original, not plagiarised, and cannot be used in a different hackathon - likewise, it cannot be from an existing hackathon.</li><li>Make sure that your submission has the following:<ul><li>A link to your public GitHub repository.</li></ul></li></ul><p><br /></p><h2>Important Dates</h2><p>Please refer to the schedule on the HawkHacks Portal for important times and dates.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
