FAQ

Q: How many machines can we work on?

A: As many as you need. However the department will only provide a maximum of two networked machines in the build challenge space. If you want to use more machines, you need to bring them. We encourage everyone on the teams to bring their own laptop to the event.

A: Not all of you do. However, at least two members of your team need to be onsite and working between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm for your team to stay qualified for the prizes.


Q: What technologies can we use?

A: There is no restriction on technology, as long as everything created is original (created by the team members).
