- What resources and timeline do you need for your idea?
- How is your idea different from other solutions?

How do I join a team, or form a new one?
When registering to your chosen track, you will have 3 options:
- Create a team: The platform will form a new team with you as the first member and prompt you to enter a team name. When you enter your new team’s ProjectStudio, you can enter the email IDs of other members you would like to invite to your team (you can invite any eligible person from any school). Alternatively, you may opt to open your team for other people to join in using the ‘Private/Public’ toggle.
- Join a team: Join other students in an existing team (rather than forming your team) if you so prefer. This is a great way to meet new people!
- Wait to be randomly assigned: Not ready to create or join a team? Select this option to join the project, and then you can either create or join a team at a later date or wait to be assigned to a team by us when the hackathon begins!
How many people can I have on my team?
You can either participate individually or form a team with up to 4 members.
Will we get help? What happens if we get stuck?
Of course. ProjectSet team members will be able to assist you throughout the hackathon process. If you get stuck, drop us an email at Events@Projectset.com. We will also be hosting a drop-in help session during the hackathon to assist you with anything you need!
Can I resubmit my project after submitting it once?
Yes. You can resubmit your project anytime and as many times until the submission deadline. Your output will not be reviewed or evaluated by judges until the deadline has passed.
What if I have more questions?
Please ask away! You can send questions at any time to Events@Projectset.com - if you make the subject title of your email ‘ICE 24 Student Quiery’ then we can get back to you even sooner.
