MENTORS
Each year we invite specialists from various fields who are ready to help you. You can find them in the Mentors Village where they will be happy to inspire you and answer any questions you might have.
There are two types of mentors:
- CATEGORY MENTORS
They are mostly NGOs whose area of expertise is one of the 5 main categories of the Hackathon (Security in times of the pandemic, Business, science & technology during the crisis, E-commerce and logistics, Education and leisure, Freestyle).
They can advise the teams if their idea is relevant for the specific topic, suggest the direction of developing the idea or simply come up with the solution the team could work on.
- CONTENT MENTORS
These mentors take care of the more technical part of the project development. They are mostly individuals, with specific knowledge.
They can advise if the team has some issues with UX, does not know how to solve some trouble while programming, has no idea how to present on the stage or has any other technical problems while hacking!
