Here's a checklist

DO

  • Make a meetup.com event
  • Make a facebook event
  • Make sure it's out on Noisebridge social media
  • See if someone is available to help record the demos (For Stupid Hackathon 4 we had the amazing Jeremy Rollinson do a live stream for Noisebride YouTube)
  • Tell people what Noisebridge is about at the beginning
  • Provide an opportunity for people to share their ideas so that they can form teams
  • Make a Google form or similar for participants to submit their projects (and ask if they're OK to have their demo recorded)

DON'T

  • Get catered food, or that much food at all (except coffee, people like coffee). Participants tend to prefer to get their own food.
  • Schedule the hackathon at the same time as Godwaffle Noise Pancakes
  • Stress about running the hackathon. It's a stupid hackathon

PAST SPONSORS

  • Contentful, sponsor of coffee and Saturday dinner for SF SSNONATI Hackathon 6, where Amelia Winger-Bearskin (OG founder of stupid hackathon) is a dev evangelist
