Make sure you have an Ethereum wallet. Go to the faucet, put in your Ethereum address, and do any tasks (like a CAPTCHA). After a little while, your wallet should have more funds. Remember, only share public addresses, not private keys. It's a good idea to get your test ETH before the hackathon, as faucets can sometimes be unreliable.

TBD more details will follow soon.</p><p><br /></p><h2><strong>Is there Wi-Fi at the event?</strong></h2><p>Of course. There will also be a limited number of ethernet outlets in the hacking area, but teams doing projects for the 48h competition have priority on these.</p><p><br /></p><h2><strong>Are there prizes for winning one of these activities?</strong></h2><p>Yes there are and details regarding prizes will be communicated soon. </p><p><br /></p><h2><br /></h2><h2><strong>I am interested in exhibiting or becoming a sponsor, what do I do?</strong></h2><p>If you are interested in sponsoring ETHAccra, please contact us info@ethaccra.xyz for a prospectus and sponsorship application instructions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2><strong>Can I leave a few flyers on the tables to advertise my group/event/company?</strong></h2><p>That would depend on what you're advertising. The only hard rule on this is that you talk to us first by contacting us at info@ethaccra.xyz </p><p><br /></p><h2><br /></h2><h2><strong>I'm a tech guy but I also do recruiting. Is it OK if I talk to someone at ETHAccra to see if they're interested in working with me?</strong></h2><p>You cannot engage in direct recruitment activities during ETHAccra. This is one of the core rules of the event. The attendees don't enjoy unsolicited targeting, and we don't want to turn the event into a battlefield for hires. Trust us, it's better for you, not only for attendees. Having said this, it's OK if the interest is mutual and both parties want to talk (meaning the attendee approaches you). It's definitely NOT OK if you're preaching to the crowd or fishing around for interest.</p><p><br /></p><h2><br /></h2><h2><strong>Do I need to know how to code to participate?</strong></h2><p>Yes, for solo hackers, having a technical background is essential as it's necessary for the hackathon. However, for those joining teams, coding skills are not a strict requirement. If you bring other skill sets, like research, project management, pitching, design, or any other relevant expertise that aligns with the project's requirements, you are more than welcome to be part of a team.</p><p><br /></p><h2>Can I build my project solo?</h2><p>Yes, absolutely! Whether you're a solo developer with a one-person team or just prefer the individual challenge, building solo is entirely welcome.  </p><p><br /></p><h2><br /></h2><h2>How do I contact mentors from ETHAccra?</h2><p>Mentors are readily available for assistance and can be reached on our website info@ethaccra.xyz . Whether you have questions about technical challenges, project ideas, or need guidance on any aspect of the hackathon, our mentors are here to help.</p><p><br /></p><h2><br /></h2><h2><strong>Will there be training before the hackathon?</strong></h2><p>Yes, we've got you covered! We have a series of online and in-person workshops planned to equip you with the necessary skills before the hackathon kicks off.</p><p>Online and In-person Workshops: These workshops will run about four (4) to three (3) months before the hackathon kicks off and will cover various topics,  steps to build, and inspiring ideas. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2>Still have questions?</h2><p>We'll be happy to answer any questions you might have!
