FAQs
What is a designathon? This is a workshop where we identify a problem and design a potential solution for the problem. 
What should I bring? Your brilliant ideas!
What's the agenda? We'll be going through problem topics, form teams, and come up with use cases for drones. At 4pm we'll be running through presentations for all the groups and announce the winners by 5pm. 
Who can come? Anyone who is at school from years 7-12. 
What if I don't have a team or know anyone else going? The beauty of this workshop is the ability to meet new people and work with them. This is a great networking and learning opportunity.
How many people from a school can come? As many as you want! However we would recommend sending a maximum of 30 students per school.
