Hackathon is officially open!

Let the hacking begin!!

Dear all,

We officially welcome you to the #CohereAIHack Hackathon week!! The hackathon page opened for submission today at 8am WAT and closes on Sunday May 7th at 8am WAT.  

We want to share some important instructions for this week. We're using Devpost to showcase all your projects and support the judging.

You need to register now and submit your projects before the deadline (Sun May 07, 2023 at 03:00am EDT), both at this link:

https://ai6lagos.devpost.com/

  1. Have EVERY person on your team go to the link above and click Register for this hackathon. (You must all create Devpost accounts.)
  2. One person from each team MUST fill this form to register your team.
  3. One person from each team will Enter a Submission (which is a button you'll see after you Register). Where it asks you to add your teammates' email addresses, make sure to use the same ones they used to create their Devpost accounts.
  4. Submit early and include as much information as you can, so you won't be rushed toward the end. And remember, you can keep updating your project until the deadline.
  5. If you missed our workshop series, you can watch the video playback. Check out our curated playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD0HH4Qq3rcdXxnmdSh9iTSHh276DfQ7A To give us feedback on these workshop, use this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe22Y8hcJqwIZNAMhfaJahb2aYjIvUKE9RX0wzMEViJfI3guw/viewform
  6. In addition to these video playlist, we have also curated resources that you may consult to help you further understand Cohere's technologies and inspire what to build: https://ai6lagos.devpost.com/resources
  7. If you do not have a team yet, use #⁠looking-for-a-team channel on discord to let everyone know that you're looking for a team, or search for people on Devpost. Reach out to other people also looking for a team, talk to one another, form a team together, brainstorm, and have a fun-filled one week of hacking.
  8. We have ~20 mentors on stand-by to assist you with any question you may have. So use @Mentor (on discord) to ping our mentors and someone will reach out to you to answer any question you may have. If you have Cohere specific questions, ping @Cohere (on discord) and someone from the Cohere team will respond to your questions. If you need to reach the organizers, ping @cohere-ai-hack Team (on discord) and we will come to your aid.
  9. We will organizer Mentors' office hours throughout the course of the hackathon, so stay tuned.

 

That’s it for now!

We are excited to have you here and happy hacking.

Best,

The CohereAIHack organizers
