Welcome to lablab.ai hackathon! In order to participate in the event, you need to register on the lablab.ai platform and Discord server. The event will take place partially on both platforms. lablab.ai will be live streaming the entire event on their Twitch channel.

Here's how you can get started:

  1. Register on both lablab.ai platform and Discord server.
  2. Attend the Hackathon Kick-Off on lablab.ai Twitch channel. If you cannot attend, the recording will be shared later on Discord. Check out the event page to know the time of the Kick-Off.
  3. Find a team. If you don’t have a team, look for one before the event or right after the Kick-Off presentation. Join the lablab.ai Discord server and write a post in “LOOKING FOR A TEAM” category.

Pro tip: Teams with diversified backgrounds usually achieve the best outcomes. For example, if you are a programmer, try to look for a designer, or/and a person with a business background to join your team.

  1. The hackathon challenge will be introduced during the Kick-Off.
  2. Mentors will assist you during the hackathon and give you feedback on your progress. You can communicate with them by using “Calling for help” in your team’s page or writing in #ineedhelp channel on our Discord with concrete questions or asking them for help. (tag @Mentor)
