Opportunity Hack 2015 Chennai

Our second Annual Opportunity Hack will open at 8:00 a.m. on Nov 28th.  At Opportunity Hack you can network, share ideas and build solutions that enable impact and social innovation! Come with an idea or join a team that will hack solutions for any of the problem statements listed by our partnering non-profits!

NGOs can apply by submitting this application form at : http://bit.ly/ohackappchennai

Check in will be from 8:00 am until 9:00 am and breakfast will be served.   

Then the fun begins!  Our non-profits will all have an opportunity to pitch their ideas to all the participants.  We'll be moving this along quickly so that we can move into team building.  You can bring a whole team, but if you don't we're pretty good at facilitating team formation.  This is the part of the program that people tend to be the most nervous about, but it all works out.  We've done it successfully a bunch of times and we'll make sure you get hooked up.

Please note that the pitch session scheduled to take place at 10:00 am is for only non-profits pitching ideas. 

11:30 a.m.  It's time to get your Hack On!  You have from now until 04:00 p.m. on Sunday !!

We're providing meals and snacks and support around the clock.

3:00 p.m. on Sunday it's time to let the keyboard rest.  You'll want to have your prototype and presentation ready for a three minute presentation to the judges with some Q&A.  There will be a brief intermission for scoring and then the top teams will be chosen and accolades will flow!  This will mark the end of the event and the beginning of the celebration, where we will also provide appropriate supplies.
