Side-sessions

During the Hackathon, there may be several "mini workshops" as required on open data and web API topics. Hackers can continue coding or take a break and chill out during these sessions.

Music & Movies

We'll also be playing some music during the Hackathon to keep y'all awake and coding! So bring your own earbuds and iPods if you don't want to listen to what we're playing.

In our side-lounge, we'll be projecting some movies, in case you need to rest your brains.
