Royal Hackaway is Royal Holloway's annual hackathon, open to university students
from the UK and around the world! Spend the 24 hours as a team working together
on a project, attend any of our workshops, talks or mini-events, and work
together to create the coolest project!






FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHAT IS A HACKATHON?

Hackathons are programming competitions where people work in teams to make a
project over a 24 hour event. The overall winner will be the 'coolest project',
but keep an eye out for sub-categories your team could compete in too, or just
make a project for fun!


WHO CAN ATTEND?

Anyone who is 18+ and is a current student or has graduated in the past six
months.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

£0 and your weekend. Royal Hackaway is free to attend, thanks to all the support
provided by our sponsors!


CAN I START BEFORE I JOIN?

Absolutely not! While you can explore ideas, you cannot start implementing your
project before the specified time.


CAN I GO HOME OVERNIGHT / LEAVE EARLY?

The short answer is yes! If you have a hotel room booked or you need to leave
for any reason, please make sure you check-out and check back in when you
return. This is for fire safety and accountability reasons.


I HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS OR ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS, IS THE EVENT SUITABLE FOR
ME?

The venue is wheelchair accessible and has disabled toilets. There are gender
neutral toilets in the library which is next door. There will be a quieter
hacking room available for individuals or teams who require a calmer space to
work, where noise must be kept low, and you're welcome to skip any events in the
main auditorium or workshops if you don't feel comfortable in large or busy
spaces. If you have any questions, feel free to message any hackaway staff on
our discord server! You can also find out more information about the Windsor
building here: https://www.accessable.co.uk/venues/windsor-building


DO I HAVE TO BE STUDYING COMPUTER SCIENCE?

Nope! Although doing Computer Science or knowing how to code helps, it is not
required.


DO I NEED TO COME WITH A TEAM?

If you don't have a team in mind before you come, you can make a team when you
arrive, so no pressure! Just note that team sizes are limited to a maximum of
four hackers per team.


WHO OWNS MY PROJECT?

All code is owned by you and your team members! We recommend putting your
project on GitHub, and making it open source.
