Two new questions on the submission form
Hey Builders,
We added two required questions to the submission form: a short explanation of how you used the Devpost Learn Skill Pack, and an age of majority checkbox. Both are required to be eligible for prizes.
If you've already submitted, open your submission, answer the new questions, and save before Monday, Oct 26 at 5pm ET. While you're in there, double check that your public repo link is in the "Try it out" field.
One more thing: the Devpost Learn Skill Pack repo (github.com/challengepost/learn-ai-basics) now has an MIT license. That means you're completely free to use, change, and include…

Don't forget to include a URL to your public repo!
Hey all,
Just a friendly reminder that when you're submitting your hackathon project be sure to include a URL to your public repository on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket! It should be in the "Try it out link" field on the submission form. We use these to make sure you're tried out the curriculum and it's how you'll be eligible for a prize. If you've already submitted, go back and make sure you've included the URL to your public repo in your submission too—we've still got plenty of time.
Oh, and if you couldn't make it to the live build session,…

Live Build Session this Thursday - Build with AI: Basics
Hey Builders,
Join us this Thursday, Oct 1st at 1PM ET with Joe, Devpost's AI Learning Hackathon Architect, who will run the whole skill pack process live: planning through working code, start to finish, using the same flipped-interaction method the skill pack walks you through yourself. You'll get to see what it actually looks like to have the AI interview you, scope an idea down to something buildable, and turn it into working code in real time.
This will be a watch-and-learn session, and a great time to ask questions and jump into the discussion in chat as Joe works.…
