Application Process & Newcomer's Journey
Step 1: Submit Application
Step 2: Claim Your Newcomer Welcome Kit - You will receive a Beginner's Guide to Hackathons, a tech-stack quick guide, breakdowns of past winning projects, and a weekly study planner - all written in plain language to answer the one question on every newcomer's mind: "What actually happens in those 36 hours?" No coding background needed.
Step 3: Get Matched With Your Dream Team - Fill out a short team-building form (your skill level, interest area and preferred role), and our team will match you with teammates whose skills complement yours and whose interests align. We'll kick things off with an online icebreaker, and you may request one rematch up to two weeks before the event - sign up alone, and you will still never be alone.
Step 4: Level Up at Out Weekly Online Workshops - HackMIT chairs, industry guests and past participants take the stage - from hackathon basics and tech selection to hands-on web, hardware, and mobile-app clinics, everything you need to fill the gaps. (The first three sessions are open to everyone, even before you register.)
Step 5: Lock In Your Project With Mentors - Dive into a beginner-friendly idea library and office hours, where you can brainstorm your concept one-on-one or in small groups with the academic team; submit your early idea a week before kickoff, and get written feedback on feasibility and suggested directions,
Step 6: Ask Anytime, Stay On Track - An ever-growing tech FAQ plus an online Q&A group, paired with team sync, help you clear roadblocks as they come - no more last-minute cramming.
