- question: What's a hackathon?
116+
answer: |

A hackathon is a programming competition where you work in a team to create a project in a short amount of time.
118+
It's a great way to learn new skills, meet new people, and have fun!
119+
120+
- question: How much does it cost?
121+

Absolutely nothing! birmingHack is free to attend, you just need to register a ticket when they become available.
123+
Food will also be provided for all attendees.

127+
birmingHack is open to all students aged 18+ at the University of Birmingham, regardless of your course or experience level.

139+
140+

149+

150+

152+
This is located next to University station, and is referred to as Y9 on university maps.
153+

161+
162+
- question: When can I start working on my project?
163+
answer: |
164+
You can start working on your project as soon as hacking begins at 12:00 on Saturday.
165+
You're welcome to come up with ideas before then, but we ask you do not start working on your project before this time.
166+
167+
- question: How does judging work?
168+

You may submit your project to as many categories as you want on Devpost.
