Directions & Location

The location is a 8-minute train ride from Basel SBB train station. An additional 5-minute walk from Pratteln train station, you will find the Haus der Wirtschaft at Hardstrasse 1 (a large brown building). Take the northern exit and follow Wasenstrasse to the roundabout. From there you will be able to see the entrance to the building. There are limited parking spaces at the venue.

What to bring

Let's make sure you're armed and ready to conquer this adventure.
Here's your not-so-serious "what to bring" checklist to keep the vibes high and the fun flowing:

  • 1. Laptop & Charger

    Because you can't code with your mind (yet), you'll need this trusty sidekick. It's like your Excalibur in the digital realm.

  • 2. Team Spirit

    Don't forget to pack your A-game and team spirit. Enthusiasm is our secret weapon!

  • 3. Rubber Ducks

    Every coder's confidant. Use them to explain your code (they're great listeners) or as emergency stress balls.

  • 4. Glow Sticks

    Illuminate your genius ideas (literally) during those late-night brainstorming sessions.

  • 5. Emoji Stickers

    Decorate your laptop with emoji stickers to express your code's emotional journey.

  • 6. Rubik's Cube

    For those moments when your code isn't the only puzzle you want to solve.

  • 7. A Sense of Humor

    The most important item on the list! Keep it light, laugh often, and remember that hackathons are about fun and learning.

Remember, a hackathon is about more than just lines of code; it's about camaraderie, creativity, and having a blast. So, pack your essentials, gather your team, and let's code our way into the future while having a ton of fun along the way!
