Before you sign up

Do I need to know how to code?

I don't have a team. Can I still come?

I've never done a hackathon before. Will I be out of my depth?

Do I have to be a USYD student, and does it cost anything?

Which of the three sessions do I actually have to attend?

What will we be building — and can we start early?
