Get Ready for the At-Home Hackathon Kickoff!

Hello Hackathon Participants,

 

The countdown is almost over! As we gear up for tomorrow’s At-Home Hackathon kick-off, we couldn’t be more excited to see what you create. 

 

Here’s everything you need to know to ensure you’re ready to innovate:

 

If you’re still looking to join a team, don’t worry! You can connect with fellow participants on Devpost or Discord. It’s a great opportunity to meet new collaborators and form a winning team.

 

Make sure to have access to GroKit Core so that you can dive right into the action. It’s an essential tool for your hackathon experience. If you have any questions, feel free to reach us on Discord. 

 

Below is the hackathon schedule. The event begins Friday Dec 28th at 10 am EST - hosted on Discord - with 3lbXR CEO Robin Moulder and Ringling College Drs. Joel and Gail Morganroth Endowed Head of Virtual Reality Development Martin Murphy.

 

Don’t forget that we will be hosting both an Introduction to GroKit Core Workshop and a Live Demo to help kickstart your project and highlight features that can bring your application or game to the next level! Both will be hosted on Linkedin and Youtube - we’ll post links in Discord. 

 

Let's make this hackathon an unforgettable experience filled with learning, collaboration, and groundbreaking ideas. We’re here to support you every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance.

 

We can't wait to see your creativity in action. Let's make some magic happen!

 

Good luck,

3lbXR and the Ringling College At-Home Hackathon Team
