NewOrbit Hackathon — Event Overview

Welcome

Welcome to the NewOrbit Hackathon! This repository contains all the materials you need for the day.

Collaboration first

This is a collaboration event. Teamwork and communication are key to a fun and successful day. Share ideas openly, plan together, pair up where it helps, and keep everyone engaged.

Teams and logistics

• Teams of 4–5, randomly assigned
• Each team has a Tech Lead (always a NewOrbit member)
• The Tech Lead forks the main repository and opens a PR back to main
• The Tech Lead grants access to all team members on their fork
• We'll use Microsoft Teams breakout rooms for collaboration
