Frequently Asked Questions

A hackathon is where you turn your crazy ideas into real projects. We provide mentors, fun activities, speakers, workshops, and so much more. As you work together with your team to design and create, we will make sure your hackathon experience goes smoothly.

10πHacks will be virtual this year, and we will be providing a Discord link to those who register! The Hackathon will be run through Discord and Zoom in combination.

You will be able to find a team through Discord channels that allow you to connect to others without a team as well! This can be done any time before the roster finalization date, so there's no need to hack alone (unless you want to go solo)!

At the beginning of the event, we will be giving you a general prompt, such as "create a website or service that is related to cybersecurity". As long as your creation follows the prompt, you can build anything you wish!

You don't need to know how to code! We will be hosting a range of workshops during the hackathon, from the beginner to the advanced level, that will guide you through the development process and give you some pointers regarding what to build!

Yes! Besides the knowledge you can gain through our workshops, we will be giving you project ideas as well as basic templates so that you can focus on perfecting your design.
