Nope! We're inviting students from schools all over Thailand to join VERSO HACK 2023 and while you're on campus, get on a scooter and explore our campus with one of our students!

Great, You don't need to know to code at all! VERSO HACK is an introductory program, and no prior experience in coding, entrepreneurship, or business is necessary. All fundamental skills will be taught to students on-site as part of the program, and there are no prerequisites.  

Starting a company isn’t easy. However, VERSO HACK is a comfortable and guided hackathon. Friendly facilitators and business mentors will be on-site to assist students and teams on their startup. There will be a structured curriculum with sufficient breaks to ensure that teams have a great learning experience.

Yes, please! We are going to present you with a challenge statement at the event, so everyone is given an even playing field to go from problem to solution.

Yes, we recommend all participants experience the three days to get the most value out of this. The first day (28 Jan) is a half-day designed for team formation, ice-breaking activities, and an experiential workshop. All participants are required to be on-site at VERSO campus during Sat-Sun (4-5 Feb) as per the schedule shared.

Simply purchase your tickets, and fill in the required information. You will receive a confirmation follow up , and then you are ready for the hackathon.

Participants will be judged on Problem Identification (Ex: importance, urgency, impact of issues, gap or pain points, etc.); Value to industry, society, end user; Strength of innovation or differentiating factor; and  Pitching

During VERSO HACK,  the individuals involved in judging and determining the winner are committed to making decisions that are in the best interest of the student participants.  They take their role seriously and strive to evaluate the projects fairly and objectively.

The judges have the final say in determining the winners.

Participants are welcomed to speak with the judges after the judging session to get any additional advice or feedback, subject to judges' time and availability.

It is important to remember that the objective of a hackathon is to provide a learning and growth opportunity for students, and the decisions made by the judges are aimed at achieving this goal.

You are no longer required to an ATK prior to entering the campus. Wearing a mask is optional. However, we encourage everyone to regularly wash their hands and use hand sanitizers, if required. If you are not feeling well before or on the day of the event, please take an ATK test and inform us accordingly.

Tickets once purchased are nonrefundable and can not be exchanged or transferred to another person or the following year.

VERSO HACK fully complies with all current measures stipulated by  Thailand's Ministry of Public Health and Ministry of Education. In the event of a lockdown or health declaration, the entire event will be switched to a virtual, metaverse event. Students will still have an excellent learning experience, and they would learn essential digital skills, collaborate remotely with peers, and adapt to the Future of Work. This will assist them in their preparation for overseas and/or virtual internships in the future.

Individual. However, as this is a facilitated hackathon designed for beginners, participants will be assigned into teams based on their interests. This will help you make new friends, find new co-founders, and form teams with complementary skills. 

The team formation will be announced on 28 January.
