HALLOWEEN GAME HACK

HALLOWEEN GAME HACK
30 OCT - 1 NOV
STARTUP SAUNA

What is the Halloween Game Hack about?

The Code Pub presents this ALL FEMALE Hackathon! An amazing weekend for beginners as well as pro hackers. Let's hang out, celebrate technology and make a game together!

Our aim is to build a game together. Maybe this is your first game ever or you have done many, the skills are not relevant, as this will be a place for learning the basics of programming and having fun together, networking and learning what working in technology can be like.

During the hackathon you will build a web game in a team of 5-6 participants, you can choose any technology you know or want to try. If you are not sure what to pick, you can go with Javascript, HTML5 and CSS.

This is not a programming course, you will have to do a lot of learning by yourself. If you never programmed before please check some of these free online courses to be ready for the event.

Practical Information

The event is a three day event. And you should be present during the entire time the event lasts. All the meals are free and will be provided by the organizers during the event.

Location

The event is hosted on Startup Sauna Betonimiehenkuja 3, 02150 Espoo, Finland. The doors open at 17.45 for registration and the event starts at 18:00.

We will have the location for all the weekend but it will be closed during the night, so if you are coming from far away you will need to find yourself some place to sleep for the night.

Cancelling your registration

The hackathon is free, but if you don't cancel on time and you don't show on the event we will charge you a cancellation fee of 30 euros. Keep in mind that is a three day event with all the expenses covered, if you cannot attend let us know at latest on Wednesday 28th by email (thecodepub@netlight.com)

What to bring?

For the event you will need to bring your laptop (not a tablet), a notebook and pen and comfortable clothes for being sitting down for long periods of time.
