Rules/Requirements

1. Your event should be:
   • 24 hours long, on a weekend (and ideally on the set date).
   • Open to high school students (and ideally middle school/college).
   • For the general public, not just students from one school.
2. CodeDay will handle money and purchases:
   1. Don’t spend money until you submit a budget.
   2. Don’t agree to pay venues before checking with us.
   3. Don’t accept sponsorships personally, or use a third-party (i.e. Hack Club Bank).
3. If an agreement needs a signature, send it to your CodeDay contact.
4. Use the website we provide, which is integrated with Clear. If you want to make changes please submit a pull request here.
5. Follow the required parts of the event format to the best of your ability. If you don’t understand why something is required, please ask, there’s usually a good reason backed by lots of data.
