🕙 Event Rundown
We’ve applied a brand new competition system in our hackathon — the WILD CARD! Based on the rule, we will give everyone online team-up time after the announcement of the challenge topic on the night of July 26 (27th 24:00). On July 29 at 12:00 noon, we will start the 48 hours of intense and exciting hacking onsite.
The product submission deadline will be on July 31 at 12:00 noon. After that we will have the primary selection and 25 teams will obtain the direct pass to the Demo Day. For those who did not gain the direct pass, we set up a WILD CARD opportunity for teams to gain another chance to stand up on the demo stage on August 1. We’ll announce the result of the primary selection on July 31 from 20:00 - 20:30, and open the wildcard-spots to all teams who would like to fight for another chance. Please stay tuned to our group chat and your email inbox!
