Let's get Hacking

Were a week into the Deepgram Hackathon, and were super excited to see some of our first entries! If youre new to the Deepgram Hackathon, weve got a lot of support to help you get started. Here are some of my favorite parts of this hackathon:

Innovative Ideas Category

This is a no-code category. We wanted to make sure we accommodate folks new to their coding journey as well as those who dont have the time to build a project this month. Your focus is on sharing your big idea, telling a story, and writing a quality blog post.

Deepgram is also offering a challenge that doesn't require you to build an application. Instead, the "Innovative Ideas" challenge invites you to come up with an interesting use-case for Deepgram and tell us all about it! Your submission will cover the big ideas and story of what you've come up with and any mock-ups you've created in a thoughtful blog post.

Unlimited Submissions

Thats right, you can submit as many times as you want. You can submit in every category, multiple times in one category, or whatever works for you! We even talked about ways to maximize your submissions during last week's office hours.

Support

It was really important to us to support the hackathon participants. This is why were holding Twitter spaces every Tuesday at 12pm EDT to help inspire you and dropping tips on our @DeepgramDevs Twitter account like this one:

Another idea coming at you! Are you an early career dev applying for jobs? A great option to make your portfolio stand out is to use Deepgram to upgrade one of your existing projects. Need help thinking of ways to do that? Let us know what you're working on twitter.com/ThePracticalDe
