Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is a competition for teams of people, usually programmers, to create software applications or hardware solutions overnight, in the hopes of “hacking” or finding a better way to do things.

I don’t know how to code.
Can I still join?

Yes you can! HealthHacks is designed to gather people of different backgrounds under one roof, even those who don’t have coding experience. On the day of the competition, there will be other participants with coding skills who you can team up with.

What age groups can join the competition?

We’re allowing senior high school students and college students to join the competition. We’re only allowing these age groups of students to join to limit the age gap between participants.

Can we form teams beforehand?

Yes you can! You can register as a team of 3-4 members or as an individual. For individuals, we'll have a problem pitch session for you to introduce yourself and form a team with other participants. For teams of 3, you may also add individuals to your team during the problem pitch.

Can we just pitch an idea, or do we need to code a prototype by the next day?

Since HealthHacks is a hackathon, we will be expecting demos of your projects by the end of the competition. However, you should still put a lot of thought to your idea, its viability, and its potential impact to society in terms of healthcare.

What can I gain from joining HealthHacks?

HealthHacks is not just a competition, but an avenue for incredible fun and learning. This is an opportunity for you to work with fellow students from different fields, and to create something valuable in just two days! By talking to other teams and mentors, you will find yourself inspired to solve local healthcare issues with your project.

What if I can't sleepover? Can I still join?

Hackathons, by nature, are designed to happen overnight. The sleepover is part of the hackathon experience. We highly encourage you to sleepover, but should you be unable to do so, you are still free to join. Just be sure not to miss your pitch!

Should we bring anything beforehand?

Just be sure to bring your laptops, chargers, and adaptors. Feel free to also bring any hardware you think will be useful for your hacking!

What if this FAQ didn’t answer my questions?

Please email us at tiffany.uy@healthhacks.ph if you still have any questions! We’d love to answer them for you.
