2 hrs in train is a good oportunity to know some of the forum’s participants! besides the “Wrong route” seems interesting enough!! :smiling_face_with_horns:

I’ve never been in a hackthon not sure about the mechanics, we have to present an existing scripts?
or are there challenges assigned by categories or levels?
Is it possible to attend only as an observer or do we have to participate in order to asist?
We will recive the details after the register?
Can i participate alone or should be a full team, my collegues don’t seems interested :melting_face:?

Hola @gilberto.arechigaiba :grin: Two hour train doesn’t sound bad at all! Answer to your questions below:

  • Teams can work on ideas that have already been done or can use a new idea/project. You can come prepared with your idea or brainstorm with your team during the hackathon. But teams must clearly define what was previously developed and what is newly created as judging will only be done on the part that was developed during the hackathon.

  • We encourage people to participate. Its more fun that way and teams are made up of members of all levels. There are many roles to play, and teams need people to help with presentations as well. But, if you prefer not to participate, you can also attend as observers.

  • If you don’t have a team, we can help with team assignments. We will assign teams and share details with attendees ahead of the hackathon, so teams have time to prepare on their idea if they would like to plan ahead.

If you want to get an idea of what kind of projects people have worked on in the past Dynamo Hackathons, here are the top two hacks from the recent hackathon at AU2024:

There will be more information coming out soon! :folded_hands: Expect guidelines to come out to help shape the boundaries, but ultimately if you have a wonderful idea that uses Dynamo in any way, it’s good to go!

Will everyone who signs up get a spot?
I ask because I’d have to book a flight/ hotel in advance.

**Software Requirements (One of):**

* Dynamo as a Service in Forma Beta
* Dynamo Sandbox 3.5 with access to Geometry, or higher
* Revit 2026 with Dynamo 3.4.1, or higher
* Civil 3D 2026 with Dynamo 3.4.1, or higher
* Alias 2026 with Dynamo 3.4.1, or higher
* Advance Steel with Dynamo 3.4.1, or higher
* Robot Structural Analysis with Dynamo 3.4.1, or higher

I just received an email with this information.

^^ Revit 2026?
Revit 2026 will only be released a few weeks before the hackathon and there is no way my company IT will install it by then even if I beg them. Could this be relaxed to Revit 2025 maybe?

@Alien oops - our bad on that. Yes, Revit 2025 :slight_smile: We’ll amend it!

I have signed up already. Looking forward to this day.
Does the laptop I bring with needs to be ‘open’? As is, that I need to have Local Admin rights for this day?

All depends on what you want to do in your team! :nerd_face: If just working in Dynamo and using DaaS in Forma, then you don’t need any special permissions providing you have the package installed already.

If you want to work with APS then you may need broader controls.
