Denise Lordin, LiveHacks Team
Participants are divided into teams of five people with matching skills consistent of software developers (coders), designers and electrical engineers (makers).
Each team has a technical, business or market related mentor. The technical mentor usually comes from the Stagecast organiser team wheres the business or market related mentor comes from a participating corporation or is an artist him/herself.
We hack during the day and we party during the night - all projects are presented at the final presentations and a winning team as well as a individual winner is selected.
We end the night with live music, beer and live tests of all projects.
