How It Works

A 30-hour stay-in challenge. #startathon is a combination of hackathon, rapid prototyping and business modeling.

CODERS DEALERS MAKERS

A signature event organised by ideasinc, #startathon is a 30-hour intense innovation experience designed for coders, entrepreneurs and makers to rapidly ideate, code, prototype and model their business.

Unlike traditional hackathons, #startathon emphasises learning and actualising. Several masterclasses are held during the event. You will also be creating a prototype of your idea with the latest tools in open source hardware and IoT development boards. There will also be equipment, tools and materials for traditional and digital fabrication.
