Only requirement regarding age is, you must be born on or before 29 March 2009.

Is Hack Kosice free to attend?
Absolutely! Participation is free for all invited hackers. Moreover, we provide delicious food, interesting workshops, entertaining activities, and some swag during the event.
Will Hack Kosice be held in English?
Yes, the whole event, demoing, and presentations will be held in English, thus you should be familiar with it. However we do not require any language certificate or a specific language level, and the environment is very friendly towards English learners.
What if I want to take a nap?
During the night, there will be a dedicated sleeping room where no one will disturb you. A sleeping bag might come handy.
Do I need a team to apply?

Not necessarily. We encourage you to form a team before coming to the event. It is best if you already know the people who you will be working for 24 hours with.

In case you can’t find anyone, definitely apply, too, and we’ll help you match with other participants or teams at the event. After the opening ceremony there will be a small team-finding event where individuals and partial teams have a minute each to present their idea to others still looking for a team.

Each project at the Hackathon must be submitted by a team of 2-4 participants.

How large can teams be?

All teams must be of 2, 3 or 4 people.

Further, each attendee must be a member of exactly one team at the Hackathon.

I am under 18. Am I allowed to attend?

We allow participants born on or before 29 March 2009.

Further, if you are going to be under 18 during the Hackathon, we will need your parent’s written consent. Once you confirm your invitation, we will send you a paper form to be signed by your parent or legal guardian, that you then hand in at the registration.

By hacking, do you refer to breaching security?
Definitely not. Hacking is a slang term for coding/doing tech stuff. From wikipedia : The word “hackathon” is a blend of the words “hack” and “marathon”, where “hack” is used in the sense of exploratory programming, not its alternate meaning as a reference to breaching computer security.
