What is a hackathon?

The competition's finalists will demonstrate their skills in public on September 5. AngelHack is the world's larges
t and most diverse global hacker community, helping drive open innovation of tech products, platforms and brands with extraordinary smarts, scale and speed.
The global event will bring together developers from around the region to the NYUAD for a chance to enter the HACKcelerator Programme, a 12-week mentorship programme designed to help top teams explore and refine their ideas.
The 24-hour hackathon will promote innovation and entrepreneurship by igniting the passion of the UAE's most vibrant community of coders, developers, designers and students to create startups.
AngelHack is sponsored by the IDEA Lab, an Innovation and Entrepreneurship programme at NYUAD, and the NYUAD Institute. The event is open to the public and UAE university students. Participants will receive a rare opportunity to be mentored by experienced developers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, venture capitalists and academicians. -reporters@khaleejtimes.com
