Find answers to common questions about our climate hackathon, including event details, registration, and more.
The Seattle Climate Hackathon is a multi-day event where participants develop innovative solutions to climate challenges. It's a great opportunity to collaborate and make a difference.
Register individually through our registration page. If you are already entering with a team, please still register individually so we have an accurate participant count. Complete a short questionnaire to help us understand your skills and interests. Remember, the deadline is April 23.
We encourage team sizes of 3-6 with a maximum of 7. As we get closer to the event we will release some matching tools, and have an in-person mixer, for hackers to find a team.
Projects should represent new ideas or significant improvements to existing solutions. Ultimately the two requirements will be a working MVP of your product and supporting business/operational plan.
We're building partnerships with top climate Data and API companies, as well as low code no code development platforms. You will have both these tools and mentors to guide you through the process on the days of the hackathon.
Projects are judged on innovation, technical execution, user experience, and collaboration. Detailed rubrics will be shared before the event.
Teams may be disqualified for: presenting another’s work as their own without proper acknowledgment or violating our event’s Code of Conduct (we will add link soon, and share with all attendees.)
No, travel reimbursements are currently unavailable
