We have introduced a more extended form of mentoring this year for teams who:

• want more specific help and so need to get paired with a mentor with a specific skillset
• have a myriad of problems that would take a long time (e.g. if your team has a couple of technical problems and also wants to discuss your pitch)

Given the huge number of teams, we ask that you only request an extended mentoring session if:

• if you are new to hackathons, or UNIHACK
• OR, if your team is struggling and needs assistance
  • This will be interpreted by your “How are you feeling” score in the checkpoint results.

You can request this extended mentoring by requesting this as part of your Friday and/or Saturday night checkpoints. We will try our best to match your team with a mentor meeting your needs, schedule a mentoring session, and send out a calendar invite.

If you miss out on an Extended Mentoring session, this does not stop you from asking in the #ask-a-mentor channel and seeking a mentor this way.
