Cairo Transport App Challenge

[AMahdy AbdElAziz]

My dear Geeks out there!

As many of you have already heard, we are having our next big thing launching tomorrow @ TIEC from 1PM to 4PM.

I can't wait to meet you all and listen to your brilliant ideas as well as network and have a wonderful time!

For those who won't be able to make it, we will try our best to provide a live stream as well as follow ups after the event till the final ceremony at December.

The good news is that everyone can participate! tomorrow is going to be very informative and good chance to meet the organizers and ask your questions, but you still can form your team from home and participate online! the whole process is home based (it's called Hack at Home), for more info, problem statements, and all needed resources: http://cairo.hackathome.com/

The competition is about coming up with any software, not necessarily web or mobile. If you are going to submit a software with a working prototype of a hardware then that would be ok as well. Good luck :-)

Hello AMahdy,

I have some questions:

• Can a team submit more than one idea? or it has to be only one?

More than one idea is ok no problem.

• Can a person participate as an individual and as a part of a team? or is it either or?

Individual in one project and part of the team in another project is ok. 

• Can the idea submitted address two of the problems, or it has to be only one?

More than one problem is ok.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Sara Amr.
