FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Yes. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian for the duration of the event, either as part of their team or a +1. A single guardian will suffice for the team if multiple members are under 18.

Do I have to be a coder?
No, but technical savvy helps. JOLT is designed to be fun for hard core developers as well as novice tech nerds. Some challenges are code heavy, while others focus on logic, strategy & puzzle solving.

Who can be on my team?
A maximum of 4 people are allowed per team. If you are a lone wolf, that’s cool with us, but registration remains the same.

Do I have to bring a computer?
Yes, each team member must bring their computer of choice. You are encouraged to set up your equipment on Friday evening so that you are ready to rock on Saturday morning. Ethernet access is limited, so plan for WiFi. Extra extension cords, monitors and additional computers will be not provided.

What do we win?
Bragging rights. Tales of glory. Silly trophies and fun prizes.

What else is in it for me?
Up to 27 CPE hours may be available to each participant. Visit VentureCenter.co/Jolt for more info.
