- Check that the name is free on the hackathon and, if you plan to continue, on GitHub and Instagram.
Hackathon team member roles
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Team leader | Keeps scope tight, tracks time, submits on time |
| Front-end developer | Builds the screens the judges will see |
| Back-end / ML developer | APIs, database, models and integrations |
| Designer | User flow, UI, logo and slides |
| Researcher and presenter | Talks to users, writes the pitch, records the demo |
In a team of three, combine roles: one builds the front end and design, one the back end, one research and the pitch. Then create your team on Hack4Hack and invite them with a code or a WhatsApp link.
