How do I join a team?

Teams that are looking for members have a label displayed on their team card. If they have "join" option enabled you can freely join that team. Otherwise you will have to ask a leader of that team to send you an invite link.

In order for my hackathon submission to be considered complete, what do I need to deliver?

In order for your hackathon submission to be considered complete, you will need to deliver a working prototype of your project that others will be able to use online. You also need to deliver a video presentation of your project, and a pitch deck.

How will I work with the mentors?

As a team leader, use 'Calling for help' in the team page and mentors will come to help you out. You can also use #ineedhelp channel on our Discord. You will post your queries in chat and tag @Mentor.

Who can join the Hackathon?

We welcome domain experts from all industries, not just AI or tech. Successful AI solutions require a combination of technical expertise and domain knowledge. Coding experience is recommended but not required.

Can Mentors and Organizers Participate in Events, and How Are They Judged?

We encourage everyone to participate including our team members as it is a great way to get a better understanding of the process, industry, and community; however, we do have a policy in place whereby teams with our own members of staff will be excluded from the judging & award process.

Of course, if a member of staff builds the next big thing, we may even invite them to next steps but then of course they then will no longer be a lablab member of staff if they chose this path. This is all done as we are passionate about what we do as a business and always encourage our staff to express that passion for the industry.

If I win when will I receive my prize?

Once the results are announced, organizers will contact the winning teams to gather delivery details. You'll be able to choose if the prize goes to the team or is split among members.

Please note, it might take us up to 90 days to distribute the prizes, and we'll work to get them to you as quickly as possible! Your innovation deserves celebration, and we're here to make that happen! 🎉

Do I need a Github account?

It is recommended, that at least one team member has a Github account. You can create one for free if you don't already have one.

I have other questions.

Feel free to reach us on social media, or through our Discord server.
