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
