DIVISION SIGMA
For beginner/first-time Hackers, Division Sigma is the challenge stream for you! Hackers will team up to participate in a series of workshops, followed by short tasks, called "Proofs", which are graded by the judges. By the end of Ignition Hacks, Hackers will have created a final project and the winners will be the team with the highest overall score on each "Proof".
Frequently asked questions
What is a hackathon?
A hackathon is an event dedicated to gathering both aspiring and experienced computer programmers to work upon and create a product, based on a given question or theme. This key question or theme is what diversifies hackathons from one another. A typical hackathon ranges from a 24 to 72 hour event, filled to the brim with immersive workshops and guest speakers. During this time, participants use a combination of their newfound knowledge along with past experiences to come up with a product. In a hackathon, participants can decide to work in teams or individually. Finally, prizes are offered to participants with the best projects at the end of the event.
