How does a virtual hackathon work?

The communication, judging, interactions will all occur on a digital platform. There will be a designated workspace created for the hackathon where participants will have the opportunity to connect with their team members and also communicate with mentors, sponsors and executive members. All activities will be done in a virtual format due to current conditions with COVID-19. We will provide all the necessary information regarding what platforms to use closer to the hackathon date.
