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. You should also sent in a presentation in Ppt. to present your prototype as a team to the judges and an audience.

How is the environment? Will your environment support any language? Will you provide any IDE and DB for us to work on ideas? You have to develop the entire software application on your local system and submit it on the Campusero platform in tar/zip file format along with instructions to run the application and source code.

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 & Campuse.ro or be online for the entire duration. You can develop the application on your local system based on the given themes and then submit it on Campuse.ro/challenges/eduhack/, on our specific challenge page. At the event we will hand-out useful information regarding workshops to attend that might help you create the most advanced solutions for the case. The programme you can already find on our website http://educationhack.nl

Since there is no specific technology mentioned, are there any restrictions on using number of pre-built libraries? There is no restriction to use any language, technology stack, or libraries. You can use any of them to create the web/mobile application. You are free to use the API's we suggest that will be given by our Hackathon Partners.

Do I need to give a demo for the product that I have built? You have to submit a small presentation or video that demos your submission, since all teams are going to pitch it to the jury on the 27th of May. In case you are one of the winners, you might be invited to demo your application at the physical event closing ceremony on 28th of May between 7-10PM, details of which will be shared with sufficient advance notice.

A fully developed application need to have a solid backend for data storage like SQL, SharePoint etc. since its online, is it accepted to show only the proto type of it? Yes it's absolutely fine to submit just the prototype. If you use any database like MySQL or PostgresSQL you can also submit a database dump along with your submission. However you are allowed to submit just the prototype.

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 the Campusero platform

Who will own the IP(Intellectual Property) Rights to the product that I have built? The developer/developers of the web/mobile application 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.
