Two Tracks

Not everyone works the same way, so pick the track that fits you. Both get judged on the same four things.

Hackathon

Build a project around the theme. This can be an app, a website, a game, a tool, or whatever you're into.

Submit
  • A public GitHub repo
  • A demo video, two to three minutes long
  • Photos of your project, plus a demo link if it's a website

Ideathon

You don't need to write any code. Come up with the concept, show how it would work, and explain why it matters.

Submit
  • A presentation or slide deck
  • Flowcharts and Figma mockups
  • A pitch video, two to three minutes long

Scoring Process

Judges look for projects that solve something real and feel good to use.

01 ImpactDoes it solve a real problem worth solving? Who does it help?
02 FeasibilityCould this really get built, or does it already work? Is the plan believable?
03 User experienceIs it clear, usable, and considered? Does the design serve the user?
04 Technical craftHow well is it made? Ambition, execution, and attention to detail.

FAQs

Do I need to know how to code?

Nope! The Ideathon track exists for exactly this, where you pitch a concept with slides, flowcharts, and Figma. If you'd rather build, the Hackathon track is there for you.

Who can participate?

Any student who's 13 or older. Every skill level is welcome, and if it's your first hackathon, even better.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. WarriorHacks 2.0 is free to enter.

Can I work in a team?

Yes. Go solo or team up, whatever you prefer. You can find teammates on Devpost once you've registered.

When do I find out the theme?

The theme is revealed the day before submissions open so no one gets a head start.

How do I sign up?
