### Frequently Asked Questions

###### Will there be food or refreshments?

Due to updated COVID-19 protocols, no food or beverages of any kind will be permitted at the event venue. We will be providing snack packs for WPI participants to pick up and eat at home. We will also be providing coupons to all U.S. based participants to order food to their place of residence - details on this will be announced at the opening ceremony!
WPI students commuting to campus who are unable to return to their place of residence to eat are encouraged to reach out to us at hack@wpi.edu to discuss accommodations.

###### Who can attend in person?

WPI students who are compliant with WPI's COVID testing protocol can attend the event in-person in the top floor of the Rubin Campus Center.
All other participants (e.g. participants from other schools, states, etc.) may only participate in Hack@WPI 2022 virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions.

###### Do I need to know how to code in order to participate?

You do not need to know how to code in order to participate! Hack@WPI 2022 is open to all kinds of STEAM disciplines, and we encourage both software and hardware hacks. This means the event isn't limited to just CS majors or programmers -- practically anybody can participate.

###### Will hardware and tools be offered?

Tools, hardware and machines are available to WPI students in the Makerspace in the Innovation Studio; students should see makerspace.wpi.edu for more details.
Virtual participants will need to find their own tools, hardware, and machines to utilize for the hackathon.

###### How big can the teams be?

Teams can range anywhere from 1 to 5 people.
(For teams of WPI students also participating in the Social Innovation Challenge, please note that you must have a team size of at least 2 per their event requirements)

###### What if I'm a WPI student living off-campus and wish to participate the event overnight?

Due to updated COVID-19 protocols, we are required to vacate the building at the end of the night on Friday and Saturday. If this is an issue, please reach out to hack@wpi.edu or DM an organizer via Slack to discuss accommodations.
