The RSVP page for each host site will be updated periodically and host site organizers will reach out to registrants with event details closer to the event. It is highly recommended that each entrant also register with Devpost at Zoohackathon.devpost.com . This gives you full access to all of the problem statements by giving each entrant the chance to ask questions regarding any of the problem statements. The more you know about a problem or challenge the more likely you’ll build a better solution. Global Prizes Once each host site finalist team uploads their presentations to Devpost, they will be automatically entered into the global competition. The global winning team will be announced in November and may receive a cash prize.
