Updated Pi Hackathon Agenda

Note: We’ve updated the Pi Hackathon agenda both to reflect new extended deadlines and to include more events and resources for teams and developers. This updated plan both allows more time for developers to work on their apps and provides more events and resources to facilitate their team building and app development.

You can participate in the Hackathon through the Brainstorm app in the Pi home screen.
If participants have any questions about the Pi Hackathon, please join the Pi Ecosystem Development Discord also through the Brainstorm app and share questions you may have.

August 15 - Extended Midpoint progress report submission deadline
September 5 - Hackathon building ends and submit final report
September 13-17 - Community rating
September 30 - Announcement of winners

New events and resources

The Pi Core Team is announcing Hackathon networking events through Zoom. One of these events already occurred on July 22nd last week. Please refer to the updated Hackathon agenda for future networking events.These events will help connect technical developers and project teams. After finding an interesting project, developers can then search and apply on the Brainstorm app.

Technical office hours – Core Team tech members will host office hours to answer technical questions about building Pi apps, e.g. using Pi SDK, Sandbox, Developer Portal, Pi App Engine, Brainstorm app etc. Please refer to the updated Hackathon Agenda for office hour times.

Hackathon teams must turn in only one type of midpoint check in by August 15 — either a video submission or a Zoom presentation. Video submissions can be sent through this linked form or on the Pi Ecosystem Developer Discord server #video-update. A live Zoom presentation will be an additional format for teams to submit their midpoint progress reports, the details of which are below.
