What’s the Decenture Hackathon for?

Decenture Hackathon is an inter university hackathon hosted at Parsons, NY. We will be having students from the Columbia University, Parsons and also CUNY and Touro to come hack on Decenture innovative project. Students will create their own projects from start to finish based on business requirements and in a collaborative atmosphere to learn and compete for prizes. This hackathon is open to students only. Students will have to bring their college ID.

I’m not a student, can I get involved?

We can’t allow you to participate in the event or be on site during hacking. If you’re looking to mentor (i.e. someone with technical skills who’d be willing to help out participants during the weekend), please visit our website www.decenture.com and register to be a mentor. A Decenture team member will contact you immediately.

How much will Decenture Hackathon cost me?

This event is free! Decenture will provide meals, drinks, and snacks.

What if I don’t know code?

You’re still welcome. Many skillsets are required for dApp design and build on the blockchain: project management, design, creativity as well as technical skills. Don’t worry about it, you’ll find something to work on.

What do I need to bring?

You’ll need: Your college photo ID, a laptop and charger. If you do not hold a Student ID, you will NOT be allowed to participate.

Arrive early at 10.15am as we will create teams (of 4 recommended) during the hackathon, and generate some amazing creations along the way.

Is there food?

Yep!

What can I win?

Thought you’d never ask although this is not about winning. This is about collaboration, learning and exploring and making great connections. But since we’re talking about winning, we’ve got that covered too. Top prize is a $5,000 cash pool. This event paves the way for a later event where US students compete against UK students on more blockchain fun. But for us, all participants are winners
