\#\# Frequently Asked Questions

### **Do I need to be an expert in AI to join?**

Nope! This event is open to all levels — whether you're just curious about AI or already deep in model development. You'll find something to contribute, and you'll definitely learn something new.
\*\*\*

### **Can I come alone?**

Absolutely. Many people do. We'll help solo attendees team up with others at the start of the event — it's a great way to meet people.
\*\*\*

### **What should I bring?**

* A laptop + charger
* Any specific tools or software you like to work with
* A good attitude and collaborative spirit!

\*\*\*

### **Will food or drinks be provided?**

This event is online! We’ll have breaks scheduled so you can refuel.
\*\*\*

### **How do teams work?**

You can come with a team pre-formed, or we’ll help you find one on the day. Teams usually form around shared interests or ideas — we’ll kick things off with a quick “idea jam” to get things rolling.
\*\*\*

### **Are there prizes?**

Yes! We’ll have small but cool prizes for the top projects, judged by creativity, impact, and execution.
\*\*\*

### **What kind of projects can we build?**

Anything related to AI — tools, experiments, apps, artistic projects, or even something weird and fun. It’s wide open! We’ll also have a few optional themes to spark inspiration.
\*\*\*

### **Is this a competition or a learning event?**

Both! There’s a fun competitive element, but the real goal is learning, networking, and creativity. You don’t need to “win” to get a ton out of it.
\*\*\*

### **What’s the refund policy?**

Tickets are non-refundable due to upfront costs — but you’re welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else. Just let us know!
\*\*\*

### **Can I bring my emotional support AI?**

As long as it doesn’t try to take over the world, sure. Just keep it out of the judging panel — we’ve had issues with robot bias before. 😉
\*\*\*

### **What if I have no idea what to build?**

Perfect — that’s where the magic happens. We’ll run an “idea jam” at the start to spark concepts and form teams. You’ll be surprised how quickly something clicks.
\*\*\*

### **What if my code doesn’t work?**

Welcome to the club. 😄 Come for the bugs, stay for the breakthroughs. Everyone's here to learn and help each other out.
