Who can participate?

Teams participating can be developers or designers. Community members and media are also invited to join the activities. When registering, make sure to select the correct ticket type to verify your role.

Teams should be made up of 2-4 people.

I want to participate but I don't have a team. Can I still go?

Yes, you will be a 'free agent,' Sign up as a single participant and we will help place you with a team.

What am I creating?

The theme is baseball and improving the fan experience. Think about one aspect of being a fan that could be better. e.g. researching player stats, buying tickets, eating/drinking at the ballpark, social media, etc. Get creative and think outside the box!

Your technology could be (but not limited to): an app, wireframes, prototype or visualization.

Do I own what I create?

Sure do. Participants and teams will own whatever they create during Tribe Hackathon 2016. The Cleveland Indians, Tech Elevator and Progressive Insurance claim no ownership of IP or code. The Cleveland Indians are providing a space to work, power and access to the internet, with no implied or explicit intention to use or pursue any work products that are created by participants.

Do I have to bring my own equipment?

Yes, all you need to bring is your laptop. We'll have plenty of outlets and wifi. You will have space for monitors but we suggest keeping hardware to a minimum.

Where do I park?

There are multiple parking garages and lots near the ballpark. Try to park close to Left Field Gate where you'll find the entrance to the Terrace Club.
