General Questions about the Hackathon
What is a hackathon?
A hackathon is a time-limited team competition focused on developing digital solution prototypes based on a challenge chosen by the teams to solve.
How will LXthon be conducted?
The hackathon will last for 2 days and will be held in two formats:
● June 13 will be held fully online
● June 14 will be held in a hybrid format (online and in person).
Online Participation
Participants will work on solving a challenge online while interacting with experts throughout the hackathon. The live pitches will take place exclusively online through a special platform via the participant's account on the project website (submission of a detailed presentation of the solution, individual times for checkpoints and pitches, deadlines for uploading all the necessary artifacts, and their submission to the organizers all happen through the personal account on the project website).
Offline Participation for June 14
Interaction with experts during the hackathon, as well as the live pitches of solutions for people who will sign up for offline participation, will take place at the offline venue. However, submission of the detailed challenge presentation, individual times for checkpoints and pitches, deadlines for uploading necessary artifacts, and their submission to the organizers will also be held via the personal account on the project website.
The venue is treated as a festival setting, and participation either offline or online does not affect the outcome or chances of winning.
Teams that confirm their participation on the project platform by the rules are eligible to take part in the hackathon.
After the official opening, participants will work on the assigned challenges for 24-36 hours.
Teams are allowed to present their solutions if they attend at least 2 checkpoints. Detailed rules of the event are outlined in the project regulations.
Who can participate in the hackathon?
The hackathon is open to students, professionals, and enthusiasts aged 18 or older. Participants must register individually or as part of a team and agree to these rules in full.
I'm under 18 but want to participate in the hackathon — is it possible?
Only individuals who are at least 18 years old are eligible to participate in the hackathon. Unfortunately, if a team includes a participant who is under the age of 18, the entire team will be disqualified regardless of the result or place they achieve in the hackathon.
I will turn 18 after the registration starts. Can I participate?
To participate and be eligible for a cash prize, individuals must turn 18 by the start of the hackathon.
What programming languages and technical tools can I use?
Unless specific software restrictions are stated in the challenges provided by the partners, participants are not limited in their choice of programming languages, technologies, and tools for creating prototypes, as long as the solution addresses the problem outlined in the challenge.
You may use generative AI as long as it is disclosed during the presentation.
Is participation free?
Yes, it is free.
I think my knowledge is not enough to participate in the hackathon.
Lack of programming skills is not a problem. The Hackathon primarily provides an opportunity to work in a team and get involved in the IT community. Teams also need designers, project managers, product managers, entrepreneurs, financial and business analysts, marketers, and other specialists to implement the project successfully. The key is to thoroughly describe your experience so that a team can find you.
Can I edit the profile data in my account?
Participants can update their first and last names during registration on the LXthon platform. If you experience any issues, please reach out to our support service via email at hack@xthon.xyz.
What is a challenge?
A challenge is a task — a description of a specific business or social problem in a relevant industry or field, presented for resolution within the framework of the hackathon.
How will the challenges be distributed among the teams?
Only already-formed teams are eligible to choose a challenge. Any member of the team can select a challenge.
Important: the number of teams for each challenge is limited. No later than 5 days before the hackathon starts, the participant’s account will display the challenge’s availability percentage. Once the number of teams for a particular challenge reaches 100%, it will no longer be available for selection. Based on the selection made on the website at the moment the phase ends, each team will be automatically assigned a challenge to work on during the hackathon.
When will the full list of challenge tasks be available for each hackathon?
A shortened list of all challenges will be published on the website l.xthon.eu no later than 7 days before the registration deadline.
Detailed descriptions of the challenges will only be available to participants on the first day of the hackathon.
What does it mean to solve a challenge?
To solve a challenge means to find the optimal solution to the stated problem. We do not limit participants in their choice of technologies or approaches to finding a solution. What matters to us is providing an opportunity for creative initiative and receiving unconventional, often less popular, but possibly the most suitable solutions developed specifically within the framework of the hackathon.
What is a checkpoint?
A checkpoint is a time interval during which the experts will connect with a team participating online in a pre-arranged Discord room. If the team is participating offline, the meeting will take place in a specially prepared room at the event’s offline venue.
The team will present its current progress and receive feedback.
How will the checkpoints be conducted?
During the hackathon, there will be 2 mandatory 10-minute checkpoints. Each checkpoint will include a meeting with two experts. The checkpoint schedule for each team will be available in their accounts. The team must attend at least one checkpoint with the full team present. However, all checkpoints are mandatory for at least one team member to attend.
The detailed hackathon schedule will be published on the website no later than 1 day before the event date.
Can questions about the challenge be asked only during the checkpoints, or throughout the work?
Any questions regarding the challenge are best directed to the experts during the checkpoints.
During the hackathon, if necessary, "Q&A with the challenge owner" sessions will be organized for each challenge individually. Participants will be able to ask clarifying questions in a one-on-one or public format.
