Our Sponsors
Partnerships
Would you like to sponsor our event and meet with the technology community?
A hackathon is essentially a competition format where we develop products related to a topic determined by organizers within a limited time. You will participate in our two-day hackathon event, have the opportunity to attend workshops, and meet experts in their fields.
Where will the event take place?
Our event will take place at Atölye Üsküdar, an Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center affiliated with Üsküdar Municipality, on April 27-28. However, the award ceremony will be held on May 3, Friday, at Nevzat Ayaz Anadolu Lisesi Conference Hall.
Is there a participation fee?
No, our event will be completely free. All you need to do is register.
Are there behavior rules?
Yes, we comply with Major League Hacking Code of Conduct.
Who can participate?
High school students in grades 9-12 or preparatory classes continuing their formal education in Turkey, and open high school students between the ages of 15-18 can participate.
Will you have a hardware laboratory?
Yes! Naal'Hack won't be just software-focused, so participants will have the opportunity to use the FAB-LAB within Atölye Üsküdar. However, you'll need to provide the necessary accessories (Arduino, LED Display, etc.) yourself to develop your product.
Will you cover travel expenses?
Unfortunately, no travel reimbursement will be provided for Naal'Hack participants.
Do I need a team?
No, there's no such requirement. You can form your team and participate, or make new friends and form a team before the competition starts!
Will there be free food, drinks, and coffee?
Of course, there will be meal and drink breaks. We'll also provide unlimited coffee and snacks.
What should I bring with me?
A document showing you're a student, computer, charger, and everything you need to make your project.
Will there be overnight accommodation?
Unfortunately, due to Atölye Üsküdar's area agreements, overnight accommodation won't be possible, so participants will need to go home at the end of the 1st day and return to the venue in the morning of the 2nd day. However, we're doing our best to make overnight accommodation possible.
What can I do in the competition?
Everything is possible! You can design a website, develop a mobile app, create a programmable circuit board. In short, what you'll do is entirely up to your imagination! Juries will evaluate projects based on creativity, technical skill, and the benefit they provide.
Is there a person limit in teams?
Teams will be limited to a maximum of 4 people.
What if I'm new to programming?
Beginners in programming can participate. We don't have any limitations in this regard. There will be seminars on the first day of our event.
What are the restrictions on my project?
Your developed project should not be illegal, should comply with MLH Code of Conduct, and should not endanger the event area and participants.
