OIH All Night Hackathon in Katsuoji Temple

Sep.17, Sat – 18, Sun at Katsuoji Temple

About the event

You can hack freely what you want to create, as you feel and as you are.

OIH All Night Hackathon in Katsuoji Temple is a hackathon mainly for people who aim to develop tech communities in Kansai. The venue is Katsuoji Temple located about thirty minutes by bus from Senri-Chuo station. You can participate in this hackathon like an overnight camp for development. You can work on your development in a comfortable space at the temple, with spacious training rooms and large baths. Though the hackathon will award no prizes to participants, there are few restrictions on them. We hope you will use this opportunity to tackle a difficult theme that you cannot usually handle or realize your long- cherished ideas.

The program will be conducted in Japanese.

Mentors and participants

The hackathon recruits some mentors as well as participants. In principle, conditions for mentors and participants are almost the same, and we hope experienced people who have participated in hackathons many times or those who operate their own communities join this hackathon as mentors and support other participants.
(We may ask applicants for mentors to provide their profiles to post them on our official website with their permission.)

Venue

Katsuoji Temple (second and third days)

According to Koryuki (an old journal), this is one of the Koyasan Shingon sect temples constructed in 727. Known as a good luck temple and Daruma doll temple since ancient times, it overlooks magnificent, picturesque panoramic scenery with beautifully colored trees in autumn throughout 260,000 square meters of the precinct. It has training facilities, which are widely used by companies and schools.
