MLH Local Hack Day at Barcelona Code School

December 2, 2017 @ 10:00 - 19:00

Barcelona Code School is hosting Major League Hacking Local Hack Day on December 2nd, 2017

What is MLH Local Hack Day?

MLH Local Hack Day is a 9 hour hack day on our school’s campus that brings together the local hacker community to celebrate building awesome technology.

Similar to a hackathon, you will spend the day building projects, learning new technologies and sharing your creations over the course of a day in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

On December 2nd 2017, hackers around the world will be simultaneously hosting their own MLH Local Hack Day at their school, resulting in the single largest day of hacking.

Whether you’re a seasoned hackathon veteran or have never been to a hackathon before, MLH Local Hack Day is the best way to kick off the 2018 MLH Hackathon Season.

FAQ:

What is a hackathon?
The word “hackathon” is a portmanteau of the words “hack” and “marathon”, where “hack” is used in the sense of exploratory programming, not its alternate meaning as a reference to computer crime. Hackathons are awesome events full of creativity, technology and passionate tech-related students & professionals collaborating and creating. Attendees work in teams to create apps, games, robots… literally anything you want to build & learn about!

How much does it cost?
Local Hack Day BCS is free for all accepted hackers. We will provide you WiFi, swag, and workspace.

Are there going to be prizes?
Yes, we have prepared award for the best Hack Day projects.
1st place winner will get EUR discount for the In-person JavaScript Bootcamp*
2nd place winner will get 350 EUR discount for the In-person JavaScript Bootcamp*
3rd place winner will get 150 EUR for the Online JavaScript Bootcamp*
*The gift certificates are valid until the end of 2017/2018 academic year.

What can I build?
Web, mobile, hardware, anything is on the table.

What language should I use?
We’ll be sharing digital goodies with you and these are supported by tons of different languages. You are welcome to use whatever tools you like best!

What if I don’t have a team?
No need to worry! Part of the fun of a hackathon is meeting new people. We will have time at the beginning of the event for everyone to meet and form teams. Barcelona Code School will do team formation at the event.

Where is it being held?
Local Hack Day BCS will take place in BCS’s Campus at Carrer de Muntaner 262 in Barcelona, Spain.

What should I bring?
All attendees must bring a valid ID for admission. Other common checklist items include laptops and chargers. We also encourage hackers to pack a lunch bag to keep you energised throughout the day!
