Solar Hacks is a one-day, 200-participant Hackathon that is independent and unaffiliated with any school. Our goal is to bring middle and high school students in the Bay Area together to come together and develop innovative ideas that could revolutionize the world. At Solar Hacks, we provide students with the resources and mentorship that would be needed to convert their ideas into a reality. Additionally, by the end of the Hackathon, students will be able to learn how to collaborate with their peers to build STEM projects, gain presentation skills, and be inspired to continue doing things they love! Food, workshops, assistance, drinks, and swag will be provided to all participants for free! We want all participants to enjoy their day at Solar Hacks, hence, we would encourage everybody to arrive to the Hackathon with a competitive mindset.
Event Code of Conduct
All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at events hosted
at DigitalOcean Headquarters, or events representing DigitalOcean,
are required to agree with the following code of conduct.
Organizers and/or DigitalOcean staff will enforce this code
throughout the event. We are expecting cooperation from all
participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.
The Quick Version DigitalOcean is dedicated to providing a
harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of
gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation,
disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity,
religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not
tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual
language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue,
including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online
media. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned
or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of
the event organizers or DigitalOcean employees.
The Less Quick Version Harassment includes offensive verbal
comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age,
sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size,
race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in
public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following,
harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks
or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome
sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to
comply immediately. Sponsors are also subject to the
anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use
sexualized images, activities, or other material. Sponsor staff
(including volunteers) should not use sexualised
clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized
environment.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event
organizers or DigitalOcean staff may take any action they deem
appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the
event with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being
harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of
DigitalOcean or event staff immediately.
DigitalOcean staff will be happy to help participants contact
venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or
otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for
the duration of the event. We value your attendance. We expect
participants to follow these rules at all DigitalOcean related
event venues.
