At PennApps

We think hackathons should be about learning and meeting new people, so we’re here to make it happen. Read all about our initiatives, and join us for a new kind of mentoring experience!

Beginner Guides

To help you learn to hack and learn new technologies, we have our archive of tech talks and guides developed by the team on lots of useful topics.

Get Help

Through our QA System (our recommended way to get help!):

  1. Visit qa.pennapps.com and make an account!
  2. Go ahead and ask any question! Companies and mentors will be monitoring this site to provide help. It works very similarly to Stack Overflow!

Through the PennApps Slack:

If you've checked in, you should already have an invitation. If you aren't on the PennApps Slack or haven't been invited, email [email protected].

  1. Many companies will have slack channels! Feel free to check those out.

Through the Pairing System

  1. Fill out the form at my.pennapps.com/mentor, detailing your question. You will need to be logged in to see the page.
  2. The PennApps Mentorship team receives the request and finds an available mentor for you. Active matching will be occurring from Friday 8 pm - midnight and Saturday 8 am to midnight.
  3. You will receive an email with the mentor’s contact information. Contact the mentor and arrange a place to meet (we suggest Mentorship Central, in the Engineering Cafe, as an easily identifiable location)

If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to come to Mentorship Central in the Engineering Cafe for help!

Workshops at PennApps

At PennApps, we host several events for both our new and experienced hackers. Friday night, we will have intro to hacking talks on topics like Bitcoin, Modular Open Scalable Architecture, Java, Networking & Internships, and Embedded Systems. We also have additional workshops on Saturday on the topics of React, Deep Learning, Entrepreneuarship, and Product Design. You can find the schedule here.

There will be a team formation and mentor meet-up event on Friday night for both Hacker Guru teams and regular teams. Times and locations for the workshops can be found in the schedule above. You can also message mentors on Piazza for most of the weekend!

Dining Philosophers Resources

PennApps has teamed up with the Dining Philosophers (Penn's CS club) to teach new hackers the basics of hacking! The Dining Philosophers has a bunch of homegrown workshops and tutorials on all sorts of useful subjects for new hackers like HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Click here to see all the information from the tutorials, including slides, and code samples. We particularly recommend the Code Weekend series of workshops that are a brilliant intro to Web Development.

Other Resources

You can find other resources for Routes and from our sponsors at our Resources Page.
