FAQ
A hackathon is a coding marathon - it's like a real-time programming fair where students develop an idea and bring it to life through code. A project could be a game, website, app, robot, Arduino project, whatever! If you enjoy programming or technology in general, hackathons are great places to meet friendly, like-minded people.
No, you don't! Even if you aren't able to code beforehand, you can attend workshops, learn some code, and still submit a project. We will have both a novice division (set up specifically for those new to coding) and a main division, and the "Intro to Programming" workshop is tailor made for new programmers.
You are eligible to participate in QuHacks 2024 if you currently attend middle or high school. If you have already graduated but would still like to attend the event, please consider volunteering or mentoring for the event! Send us an email at info@quhacks.tech for more information on contributing to QuHacks, or if you have any questions about our eligibility
Nothing! This event is entirely free of charge, thanks to our awesome sponsors. If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, please email us at info@quhacks.tech.
But of course! You can win both swag and cool tech! You'll have the chance to win gaming monitors, tablets, headphones, drones, and more...
The only thing you need is a device that can connect to the internet, and any materials needed for creating your hack!
QuHacks will be held in building 201 at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. The address is 11091 Johns Hopkins Rd, Fulton, MD 20759.
Anyone caught working on past projects will be forced to sit in the corner and wear the dunce hat. Seriously though, don't be that one person.
No problem! Many participants sign up without a team, and you can meet and work with new friends. You may also choose to work alone. The limit is 4 people per team.
At some point, Freddy had a cheesy description here. However, we can't seem to decide what Freddy is, so we'll just say he's that one duck you keep seeing around on this website.
