About this event
If you like building under pressure, solving real coding problems, and seeing how your ideas hold up when the clock is running, Hackathon - Coding Test is built for you. This is an in-person evening session designed for people who want to write code, think clearly, and work through challenges in a focused, community-driven setting. Whether you come to test your technical skills, sharpen your problem-solving approach, or simply get back into a room with other builders, this event gives you a concrete reason to show up and do the work. Expect a practical, hands-on format where the main value comes from participation, not passive listening. About the Event Hackathon - Coding Test is a tech community event centered on coding, collaboration, and live problem-solving. The core idea is simple: bring people together in person to work through coding-focused challenges in a format that feels active, social, and useful. This is not a lecture-first event. It is meant to create space for doing, testing, iterating, and comparing approaches with other people who care about code. If you enjoy learning by building and improving through direct feedback from the work itself, this format makes sense immediately. Because it is positioned as both a hackathon and a coding test, you can expect an environment that values both creativity and execution. That means thinking on your feet, making decisions with limited time, and balancing clean implementation with practical momentum. You do not need a complicated reason to attend. Sometimes the best way to improve is to sit down, open your laptop, and work through a challenge in a room full of people doing the same thing. What to Expect The evening will likely move with purpose from the start. Attendees can expect a clear kickoff, time to get oriented, and then a substantial block of focused coding activity. Since this is an in-person event, a big part of the experience is the energy of working alongside others rather than in isolation. You should come ready for a hands-on session that may include individual or team-based problem solving, depending on how the organizers structure the challenge. The exact mechanics matter less than the mindset: you will be expected to think, code, test, and adapt in real time. Here is the kind of experience this format is designed to create: A defined coding challenge or prompt that gives everyone a practical starting point Time-boxed work sessions that keep momentum high and encourage decisive problem solving Opportunities to compare approaches with other attendees and see how different people tackle similar problems A community atmosphere where conversation, debugging, and quick feedback can add to the learning A stronger sense of your own coding habits under real constraints If you have been looking for an excuse to practice in a more realistic environment, this kind of event delivers that. It puts your attention where it should be: on how you approach problems when it is time to actually build. Why Attend There is a big difference between reading about coding, casually practicing alone, and working through a challenge in person with a deadline and other participants around you. This event helps close that gap. It gives you a more active measure of your current skills and a better sense of what you want to improve next. You might attend because you want to challenge yourself, but the value goes beyond the challenge itself. Events like this help you notice how you break down problems, where you lose time, how you communicate your thinking, and what happens when you need to make technical decisions quickly. A few strong reasons to make time for it: You want practical reps instead of more theory You want to sharpen problem-solving in a time-bound setting You learn better by doing than by watching You want to meet other technical people in your local community You want a clearer read on your strengths and gaps If you are early in your journey, this can be a motivating way to push beyond solo practice. If you are more experienced, it is still useful because constraints reveal habits, and habits are where a lot of growth happens. Practical Details This event is in person, which means your experience will be shaped by being physically present in the room: coding near other attendees, asking quick questions, and staying engaged without the distractions of a remote setup. If you have been missing face-to-face technical community, that alone is a good reason to show up. The event takes place on Thursday, January 25 at 6:30 PM GMT-5. Since it starts in the evening, plan your day so you can arrive ready to focus rather than rushing in half-prepared. Giving yourself a few extra minutes to settle in can make a big difference once the coding begins. A few simple ways to prepare: Bring a laptop ready for coding Charge your devices before you arrive Make sure your development setup works so you can start quickly Be ready to participate actively, not just observe Expect a practical, community-oriented tech environment If you want an event where the point is to engage directly with code, think under pressure, and spend an evening around other people who care about building things, Hackathon - Coding Test is a strong use of your time.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want a more active way to improve your coding than watching tutorials or working alone. - **You enjoy hands-on technical challenges** and want to test how you perform when there is a real prompt and limited time. - **You are a developer, student, or aspiring coder** looking for practical reps in a live, in-person setting. - **You want to get better at problem-solving under pressure**, especially if you are preparing for technical assessments, hackathons, or collaborative build environments. - **You like learning from other builders** and want to see how different people approach the same coding task. - **You have been meaning to reconnect with the tech community** and want a concrete, skill-focused reason to do it. - **You are motivated by doing rather than observing** and would rather spend an evening writing code than sitting through a long talk. If you are curious, willing to participate, and ready to think through real coding problems, you will likely feel at home here.
