FAQ
What is the MHacks hackathon?
Hackathons are where it all begins: ideas collide with execution, and students compete to build awesome software applications and hardware devices. MHacks will be a 36-hour straight event for students from Universities across the midwest and around University of Michigan to join together in teams of 1-5 people to build something. MHacks aims to promote entrepreneurship as a viable option both during and after school. 

How do I get there?


We want MHacks to be affordable for students all across the country and Canada to attend.  We will be looking into affordable travel options to get you here.  Additionally, we are looking to send buses to the schools that show the most interest.  To inquire about buses, travel subsidies, or other affordable travel options, please feel free to contact
hackathon@umich.edu.

Is it safe to hack for 36 hours straight at MHacks?


Yes; but you have to know how to take care of your body. Students ought to take naps if needed. There will be comfortable and quiet rooms for students to sleep. At the event, there will also be lots of healthy food and beverages for individuals to maintain a level of healthiness.  


What food will be served at MHacks?
 


We will serve a variety of food from pasta and sandwiches for meals and also have snacks and beverages available around the clock. We will have appropriate vegeterian and gluten-free options as well. 



What if I have a food allergy?


Please email hackathon@umich.edu to let us know your food allergy and we can set aside allergenic-free food for you. 



What if I'm not a student, can I participate?


We only allow University students to participate; that includes undergradutes and graduates of 2-4 year institutions. 



What are the parking options for the event?


We are looking into accomodations to gain access to a lot for free parking. We will definitely provide feasible and affordable options for parking cars. More details to come soon!
