FAQ
Hackathon is a code competition where software developers, interface designers, and programmers work together in groups of 3-5 people for 1-2 days and develop a new project.
At Hackathon, we aim to solve current workflow issues and encourage new ideas for Pasha Life.
We welcome all software developers, designers, and developers who enjoy developing digital projects, who want to experience the spirit of Hackathon, and who have new ideas about Pasha Life, provided that they are teams of at least 1 person and maximum of 4 people.
In order to participate in Hackathon, you must first fill out the application form as a member on the https://www.pashahackathon.az/en/ website. Participants will be selected due to the evaluation to be made among those who fill out the application form. The selected candidates must attend Hackathon with their own computers.
The jury and our mentors will observe you throughout the process and evaluate you based on both the way you work and the quality of the solution you produce. At the end of the competition, the final evaluation will take place and the winners will be announced. To give an idea, the criteria that can be taken into account in scoring are given below; – Creativity / Innovation – Applicability / Usability – Compliance with solution expectations specific to Pasha Life – Level of technical / software complexity – Visual design – Pitch deck / Demo
