What to Prepare

Skills and wits mean nothing if you don't have the right tools.

Here is a quick list of things you should be doing prior to the hackathon to ensure you get the best experience.

• Water & Snacks We will accommodate hackers' dietary needs during the hackathon, but it's important that you have a backup option in case of emergencies (getting peckish is an emergency!)

• A computer (and a charger!) Make sure your computer is fully charged prior to the event, and that you have the means to recharge it during the event. Make sure to install all the developer tools you need prior to the event.

Some hackers bring an entire desktop computer to the event. While you're free to make whatever choices you desire, please know that we will not provide accommodations for full gaming/dev setups at DAHacks 3.0.

• A smartphone Certain aspects of the event will require access to a mobile phone, such as the mobile badging system. Also, the campus Wi-Fi can get extremely congested/unusable during the hackathon, so having a device with mobile hotspot functionality can be beneficial.

• Personal Hygiene Products (Deodorant, Wet/dry wipes)
