Following the successes of our Polkadot Hackathon Global Series (held in APAC, Europe, and North America) across 2021-2023, we are proposing to launch 2024's Polkadot Hackathon Global Series in North America. Our goal here is to continue providing Web3 builders a safe space to learn and explore the Polkadot ecosystem, whilst uniting existing builders across different verticals within the ecosystem to demonstrate the strength of our community.

The North America edition will be a hybrid hackathon, with a virtual hacking component and an in-person finale held at the Consensus conference in Austin, Texas. 

Events Schedule:

Pre-Hackathon Period	15 Feb - 13 Mar 2024
Hackathon Kickoff	14 Mar - 3 May 2024
Hacking Period	8 Apr - 29 Apr 2024
Judging Period	30 Apr - 9 May 2024
PolkadotSocial: Austin	30 May 2024
