<h2>Mentoring at a Hackathon</h2>
<p>People come to hackathons to learn new things and build cool
stuff! Along the way, our hackers might run into technical
difficulties, and will need the help of those more experienced with
the technology they're working with. This is where our mentors come
in, our mentors will be an elite team of volunteers and corporate
sponsored devs standing by to help our hackers when issues
arise.</p>
<p>If you sign up to be a mentor, we'll ask you what technologies
you are familiar with and will get you in touch with the hackers via
a system known as <em>HelpQ</em>. In HelpQ, both hackathon
participants and mentors will register in the system. Mentors will
be able to list their areas of expertise. Participants who need
assistance will submit a request, list the technologies that they're
using, provide additional details about their problem, and give
their location in the venue. Mentors will be able to see a
list of all available requests and choose participants who
need help in the mentor's areas of expertise. After helping a
participant, mentors can either mark the request as resolved
or return the request to the queue. </p>
<p>Overall, it's a great experience as you help someone build
something wonderful, remember to <a href="https://hacknc.typeform.com/to/AOVWGN6E">sign up</a> if
you wish to volunteer as a mentor, and if you are affiliated with
one of our sponsors, please email us at <a href="mailto:sponsorship@hacknc.com">sponsorship@hacknc.com</a>
to
obtain the sponsored attendee form.</p>
