  solving\, who your customer is\, and how to monetize\n\nDesign a prot
 otype: visually communicate your solution through a working prototype 
 using some of the best tools in the industry\n\nGet mentorship: meet w

 h to a panel of judges: notable founders who can help validate your id

 hey can create something amazing from nothing without having to write 
 a single line of code. We empower and enable the non-technical communi
 ty with the tools\, knowledge\, and know-how that will help bring thei
 r idea to life and visually communicate it through prototyping.\n\nPro
 toHack requires no coding. Instead\, you’ll be using prototyping tools
 \, drag and drop editors\, mockups\, wireframes and anything else you 
 think of to visually demo your idea on stage. Competitors will work in
  teams (up to 5) or solo.\n\nProtoHack is a 12-hour experience where y
 ou will build a prototype that communicates an idea visually. During P
 rotoHack you’ll learn how to use the best prototyping tools in the ind
 ustry\, network with like-minded people with various backgrounds\, bec
 ome a better product person\, and receive access to prototype tools\, 
 learning communities\, and other prizes just for attending (up to $300
 -400 value!)
