CODE OF conduct

1. Be respectful

Treat every participant, mentor, judge, volunteer and sponsor with respect. Harassment, discrimination or intimidation of any kind — based on gender, identity, age, ability, appearance, body, race, religion, nationality or anything else — is not tolerated.

2. Build honestly

All project work must be created during the hackathon. Open-source libraries, frameworks and public APIs are allowed and should be credited. Pre-built projects lead to disqualification.

3. Keep it safe

No alcohol or illegal substances at the venue. Follow venue safety rules, especially near the water. Respect the beach — leave no litter behind.

4. Appropriate content

Sexual language and imagery, violent content and hateful material are not appropriate in talks, projects, slides, chats or social media posts related to the event.

5. Reporting

If you experience or witness unacceptable behaviour, talk to any organiser wearing a Hack Atrium crew badge, or email hello@hackatrium.dev. All reports are handled confidentially.

6. Consequences

Organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including a warning, removal from the event without refund, or disqualification of the team.
