GLOBAL HACKATHON SERIES 2019
The Global Hackathon Series was initially started by a small community
of technologists with one goal in mind: TO DEVELOP OPPORTUNITY
WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
What started as a way for creators to connect and move their ideas
forward turned into a global revolution. Soon, innovators from around
the world were joining forces to elevate themselves and their platform
- all of which was done through Hackathons.
And while we’ve seen lots of changes since the early Hackathon days,
one thing has remained the same - INNOVATORS ARE CONTINUING TO RISE.
Innovators rise to meet opportunity, they rise from failure, they rise
from all corners of the globe, and they lend a hand to help others
rise with them. It’s why the Global Hackathon Series is still going
strong to this day, because Hackathons and the opportunities they
create allow people to rise, together.
We offer our own Grand Prize AND team up with awesome sponsors who
have their own challenges and prizes you can go after. Aiming for the
HACKcelerator invite? Only in it for some cool hardware? Good news,
you can go for as many challenges as you want!
ANGELHACK CHALLENGE: Challenge yourself and your entrepreneurial
spirit. Make something innovative without limits, something that
brings positive change to the world, even something that solves a
small problem. It’s that simple.
ANGELHACK PRIZE: The winning team from each hackathon will
receive $500 and an invite into AngelHack’s HACKcelerator program
[https://angelhack.com/hackcelerator/].
CHALLENGE: Use AWS Amplify [https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/] to
build a mobile or web application that connects to at least one AWS
service. To get started with AWS Amplify and for a curated list of
tools, tutorials, and example projects, check out Awesome AWS Amplify
[https://github.com/dabit3/awesome-aws-amplify]. For a list of
resources to get started with AWS, check out our AWS Hackathon Guide
[https://syum.github.io/aws-hackathon-guide/].
PRIZE:The best working mobile or web app that connects to at least one
AWS service will win one (1) custom AWS-branded mechanical keyboard
(104-key, Cherry MX Browns!) per team member and $1,000 in AWS credits
for the team.
All attendees will also receive $100 in AWS credits during the
Hackathon
CHALLENGE: Use one or more IBM Cloud services (for example, web,
mobile, data, analytics, AI, IoT, or weather) to build an application
that improves disaster preparedness, response, or recovery with a
focus on the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
ACCEPT THE CALL FOR CODE CHALLENGE TO SIGN UP AN IBM CLOUD ACCOUNT
[http://ibm.biz/]then start building with the visual recognition drone
lab. You can also explore other sample code on the Call for Code site.
PRIZE: One winning submitted project will receive $1k per team and
$500/month IBM Cloud credits per team member for 6 months.
Improve what you build after this hackathon and submit it for the Call
for Code 2019 Global Challenge by July 29th for a shot at $200,000 and
open source deployment support from the IBM Code and Response
initiative.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
One principle that has guided this community since its first Hackathon
is that everyone is welcome. Great ideas stem from discussion, and we
believe the best discussions start by talking to someone whose
background or experiences might differ from your own. With this in
mind, we invite all startups, developers, entrepreneurs, and designers
who are passionate about creating to join regardless of experience
level, geographic location, or similar factors. And IF YOU'RE UNDER 18
we ask that you bring along a parent or guardian when you check-in so
they can sign a participation waiver.
To see the full schedule please see the event detailed

Each submission will be scored in each round based on the following
criteria with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 25 points,
with the final score being the average of the judges’ scores:
*
FUNDABILITY: How fundable is this idea? Is there potential for a
sustainable business model? Is this scalable? (0-5 points)
*
EXECUTION: How well was the project executed and explained? Did they
add a demo video? (0-5 points)
*
UI/UX: Beyond design, was the end-to-end user experience for the
solution considered? (0-5 points)
*
ORIGINALITY: How original, creative or unique is the idea? Is there a
competitive advantage? (0-5 points)
*
TEAM: Is there a diverse team presented? Do they have a range of
complementary skill sets for the project? (0-5 points)
To be announced!
We know some rules are meant to be broken, but you should probably
(read: definitely) stick by these:
* FRESH CODE – We all start coding at the same time. It’s cool
to work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source
frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but keep things
within fair limits.
* CODE REVIEW – Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at
some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is
to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh.
* OWNERSHIP AND IP – You own your IP and whatever you create.
Simple as that.
* TEAM SIZE – No more than five people.
* SUBMISSIONS – Each hackathon has its individual hackathon.iopage
where projects need to be submitted by the designated time. You’ll
receive an email with instructions on how to do just that.
* DEMOS – You’ll have 2 minutes to demo the functionality of
your project and talk through your idea, and 1 minute for Q&A from
judges.
* Be courteous and cool to your fellow hackers! Check out our CODE
OF CONDUCT.
