# Hackathon

### Theme

**No one asked for this**

Build something no one has asked for, and why would anyone ever want this?

### Teams

Three teams each with three teammates

### Choosing winners

- Everyone gives 50.000pts to their first selection and 49.999 to their second selection. Team with most points win.
- Price for silliest idea?
- Price for the solution with the least potential?

### UX

- Two teams get a UX person each, the other team does not. Life isn't always fair.

### Ops

- Is a shared resource, but ideally your idea shouldn't depend on ops.
