Where should I build my project? After joining or forming a team, we ask all projects be created as issues on the Github page.

Do I need to know Qiskit or quantum computing to be a participant for the Hackathon? While you do not need experience with Qiskit to participate, it’s recommended you have an understand of quantum computing and how it can be used. Check the Education Resources tab to learn more. There will also be two workshops hosted to introduce quantum computing and Qiskit.

How do I submit what I have made for the Hackathon? You have to develop the project on the Github listed above, then submit it on HackerEarth along with an explanation of what you built, and a presentation/slides/video judges can evaluate.

Do we need to have the entire idea fully working? The entire idea need not be fully implemented however, the submission should be functional so that it can be reviewed by the judges.

Does one have to be online and available for the entire duration of the Hackathon? No, one does not need to be logged in on HackerEarth or be online for the entire duration. You can develop the application on your local system any time during the hackathon duration and then submit it on HackerEarth, on the specific challenge page.

Do I need to give a demo for the product that I have built? Yes, your team needs to submit some form of “presentation” of what you built. You can submit a small presentation or short video that demos your submission. Videos should be no longer than 4 minutes, and presentations should be less than 12 slides.

If it is a team submission, does that mean all team members will have access to work at the same time? Yes, all team members can login from their account and do application submission on HackerEarth. We recommend only one member submits the final project.

Who will own the IP (Intellectual Property) Rights to the product that I have built? You will. The developer/developers of the project will have all rights and own the IP of the product. However, all code needs to be in public domain (open source) so that it can be evaluated by the judges.

Do I need to pay any money to register for the Hackathon? No. You do not have to pay anything to anyone to register yourself for any Hackathon on HackerEarth.

Who do I contact for questions about the Hackathon? Please direct all your questions to the Slack channel and an e-board member from ACM@NYU will promptly get back to you.
