what we mean
Not a polished ad for your project - a fast, honest build log. Timelapses, quick clips of soldering or coding, the pivots, the bugs that broke on camera, and what you actually learned, all inside a minute thirty.
how to participate
Post the reel on Instagram - you must invite @tinkerhub as a collaborator or tag the official @tinkerhub handle in your post - then submit the link below with your name and campus. Submitting here is mandatory: tagging or inviting @tinkerhub on Instagram alone doesn't enter you, only links submitted through this form are considered for judging. We review submissions after the hackathon and announce the winner alongside the other results.
