Event Details

“Thoughts Become Things”

 

Take a second to think about what distinguishes you, as a hacker. Is it your impressive ability to stay (semi) functional for 24 hours on end? Maybe your unmatched ability to maintain a sense of humor, even when the Gods of Code decide to pick on you that day? Or is it your ability to easily process immense amounts of Red Bull?


While all of these things are impressive (seriously, props for the no sleep thing), what really distinguishes you hackers from others, is your unparalleled PASSION for what you do. A passion that is derived from a single feeling, and is guided by your need to see that feeling turn into a thought, the thought turn into an idea, and the idea come to life!


Welcome to the Eighth season of AngelHack, where Thoughts Become Things! 

What makes AngelHack the best hackathon series on the planet, nay, the universe?

Well, if you’ve been to any of our events before, then you already know the answer to this. But if you haven’t, here’s a glimpse of why:


  • Hundreds of the world’s most talented hackers for you to mingle & work with

  • $100,000’s in sponsor prizes

  • The opportunity to gain an exclusive invite to our HACKcelerator program for the winners of each hackathon

  • Mandatory Demos, code reviews, and banning of slide decks to ensure fairness and equal opportunity

  • Games, games, and more games to keep you PUMPED! (Nerf war anyone?)

  • Awesome food, and LOTS of it.

  • Coding through the night (because you never know when inspiration might strike, right?)

  • Sponsor awards, breakout sessions, and post-event parties!

  • Swag on swag on swag!

Developer Challenge

Figure out this challenge to get a promo code for a free ticket! Your challenge is to read in a string of Braille characters (using standard English Braille defined here) and print off the word in standard English letters.

The input will consistent of an array of 2x6 space-delimited Braille characters. This array is always on the same line, so regardless of how long the text is, it will always be on 3-rows of text. A lowered bump is a dot character '.', while a raised bump is an upper-case 'O' character.

Ex: This Input translates to helloworld

O. O. O. O. O. .O O. O. O. OO 
OO .O O. O. .O OO .O OO O. .O
.. .. O. O. O. .O O. O. O. ..

Print the transcribed braille below to get the promo code!

O. .O O. .. .. OO OO .. .. .. OO OO .O OO
O. O. O. O. .. O. O. O. OO .. .. .O O. .O

FAQ


What should I build?

Let your gut guide you! We usually like to see projects that are innovative, and have the potential to improve or influence people’s lives. Try to build a hack that people can use, enjoy, and potentially scale. Most importantly, have fun with it and try to finish in time. We know you can only do so much in 24 hours, so it’s ok if your project is not perfect (yet).

Who can attend?

Anyone and everyone! Our attendees typically consist of junior developers looking to improve their skills, senior developers looking to expand their horizons, designers of all skill-sets, and serious entrepreneurs that can add value to teams.

How is the hackathon judged?

We're doing things a little different this time. We’re saying goodbye to the Powerpoint days, and working solely with DEMO’S. No exceptions. To win an AngelHack hackathon, you will have to demo your product for at least 30 seconds. But don’t worry if your project is not 100% perfect for the demo. We know you can only do so much in 32 hours, so it’s ok if your demo is not perfect (yet). Projects will be judged based on:
