Of course there will be prizes although it isn’t all about winning but what you learn and build during those 24 hours. But don’t worry there will be a panel of judges that will select the three best hacks based on creativity, technical difficulty, design, and usefulness. Prizes for first, second and third place TBA. Sponsors also offer prizes for specific criteria, which they judge themselves.

To be announced.

Please bring a valid university ID (or any student ID if in high school), a computer (preferably a laptop), chargers, and any hardware you will use for your hack. You can also bring a sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, and a couple changes of clothes, food will be provided at the event. No firearms, weapons, alcohol, or illegal drugs are allowed on campus.

The teams are a maximum of 4 people. You can start off the event already with a team or you can meet with people at the event who also don’t have a team, don’t worry.

Unfortunately this year we can’t provide travel reimbursements and we know this is a big issue for people travelling from outside of Mexico, but we encourage you to try and come down to the event if it is possible for you. If you can’t make it hopefully we’ll be expecting you next year when our goal is to make travel reimbursements possible.

Unfortunately, you can’t participate but you can be a mentor or even a sponsor. Email us at mentors[AT]hackmty[DOT]com or check our sponsor section for more information on becoming a sponsor.

You must be currently a student or have graduated in the last 12 months from the date of the event to attend HackMTY. All disciplines are welcome.

It's absolutely free! There is no entry fee, HackMTY will provide you with plenty of food, snacks, swag, and prizes throughout the 24 hours.
