Description

Four evenings. Three winners. Time for some “chance” encounters and fantastic prizes.

Volta Labs and Atlantic Lottery will host Atlantic Lottery Hackathon.001: Probability and Randomness from Monday October 3 to Thursday, October 6. This will be a four night free hackathon from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. full of intense hacking, learning and Redbull-drinking.

The Prizes:

  • First prize: $2,000 (!!!)

  • Second prize: $1250

  • Third prize: $850

There will also be mini prizes throughout the week and a Hacker’s Choice award!

The Theme: Probability & Randomness

Bonus points to teams that use the theme!

Examples of prize-worthy hacks

  • A video game with random level generation,

  • An app that picks a random coordinate and determines the probability of an earthquake in the next 100 years,

  • A scoring algorithm for random number generators.

Teams/Participants

Most hackers choose a small team at the beginning of the hackathon to work with. You can also work with multiple teams, or go solo. Pre-arranged teams are also a-okay!

Want in on the action before October 3? Join our hackathon Slack group! Email margaret@voltaeffect.com to join.

Note: This event is 19+.

Schedule

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: Doors open at 5 p.m. to set up and mingle. Hacking starts at 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., then stay for a post-hack meetup with drinks.

Thursday: Doors open at 5 p.m., hacking from 6 - 8 p.m., pitching from 8 - 9 p.m. and results/after party afterwards!

Judging

The week-long hackathon will be judged on presentation, creativity and, of course, the tech made during the event by three judges.

What's the food situation?

Food and drinks will be provided every evening, including pop, snacks, coffee, Redbull - all the fuel you’ll need!

If you have allergies or food sensitivities, please let us know in advance so that we can accommodate.

Other Cool Stuff

We’ll also have plenty of awesome swag (shirts, stickers - the works!) and a nightly hangout after each hack day.
