Slot 5 —  Hackathon Begins (Hacking Session 1)

Take a break and enjoy a complimentary lunch! This is a great time to network with other teams, discuss approaches, get feedback from mentors, and recharge before the afternoon hacking sessions. Food and refreshments provided at the venue.

A quick break to recharge before the final sprint. Grab some snacks, stretch your legs, and prepare for the judging rounds ahead. Use this time to review your project status and plan your final push.

The final push before judging begins. Wrap up your code, squash those last bugs, and prepare your presentation. Make every minute count!

The crucial evaluation session. Judges will review your project in two rounds. Round 1 checks ~50% project completion and GitHub activity. Round 2 is the final evaluation — your MVP must be ready with a final presentation and demo.
