WHAT TO BRING?
- Bring your Laptop / Workstation
- Extension Cords

TEAM FORMATION
1) Individuals
2) Pre-formed Teams
- Individuals (the OG format)
We love developers to meet up with new developers and form new ideas so we'll also be running Idea Pitching and Team Formation sessions. We always encourage new collaborations!
- Pre-Formed Teams
For groups that have a fixed team that want to participate, you will have to add a challenge of your choice.
- Either using the 'Random Game Name Generator' inclusion to the Theme. Randomize three and pick one.
- Using ChatGPT to ask for a game suggestion.
This will be a additional element for teams that want to challenge themselves and have a bit of fun while you're at it.
