How many Hackers per Team?
Each team can have up to 4 hackers, as long as they are registered with CART Codes. You are also able to work individually, however our hope is that the hack generates collaboration between disciplines to enact change!
How do I Sign Up with my Teammates or Join a team?
Registration forms must be completed on an individual basis. There is a question that will allow you to request team members by including their full name and email address. There is also the option to be added to a team. In this case, facilitators will assign you to a group.
Can I Work on my Project Before the Event?
No. To ensure fairness, and integrity, all work must be completed during the event. A call for proposals will be open during the registration period, allowing teams an opportunity to develop project ideas in advance. These submissions can be sent to daltrac.comms@dal.ca
What do Mentors do?
CART Codes mentors are excited to share technical knowledge and experience with hackers, by providing guidance!
