If you have a good amount of programming experience in any language, and are very familiar with concepts like loops and functions, teams will need your help. Simply fill out the mentor application form here, and one of our staff will review your application.

Mentors are a very important part of the Hackathon and should always be an example in abiding by the rules of conduct at the event.

The main roles of a mentor:

1. To help to brainstorm ideas on the challenge and the solution
2. To give advice on the topic that mentor is qualified or skilled at
3. To keep an eye on the time, the schedule is usually quite intense
4. To help divide roles inside the team
5. If teams get stuck, help to get them moving again
6. To help to pick out a person who is going to do the pitch
