This year, Digital Ocean's Hacktoberfest
celebration has taken on an eighties theme. In light of
that, we've decided to reciprocate with our own theme...Hacking Things!
Our Hacktoberfest celebration this year will focus on our global theme at The Altamont School: Water. In a
different style from last year, our Hacktoberfest will resemble a "hackathon."
In this format, students will work in teams to create three real-world applications that highlight the
importance that water plays in our global community.
Hacktoberfest was started as a celebration of the open source community and to get more people engaged in it. Open source means software that's free and open for everyone to use. You can find more info here!
Practically none! We've organized this year into three groups: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each team will be led by an experienced CS student and a faculty memeber. Even if you've never written a line of code, we'll have you submitting your first pull request in no time!
Unfortunately, we're only accepting members of the Altamont community at this time.
Yes! If you're a 1:1 student, your school device is the perfect solution. If you're outside our 1:1 program, you can bring your own device and we'll have devices ready from the laptop cart.
Hacktoberfest is a challenge. You must complete four pull requests in
the month of October to earn your shirt. Depending on how much work you take on at our event, you could
easliy complete those requirements before the hackathon is over. You should sign-up for the official
Hacktoberfest event by clicking here.
We're also creating limited-edition shirts (click here to see one) with our Hacking Things logo that
will be available for $10.00.
Hackathons are meant to take a while...that's why it's a play on the word marathon. Our scheduled time is 3:45pm-7:45pm. If you sign up, you're not required to stay the entire time; come for as long as you can and help us build something cool. We've also got some awesome people from the local tech community that will be speaking during little breaks.
