# Getting Ready

Once you're [signed up](/2019-spring-hackathon/how-can-i-sign-up.md), be sure to [review what you need to know and bring](/2019-spring-hackathon/what-you-need-to-know.md) (hint: brush up on git, javascript and node; bring a laptop with a modern code editor (like VSCode) and your favorite git tools (like TortoiseGit)).

We'll all be working on the same project, but we may break up into smaller teams at the Kickoff meeting depending on the interests and skills of the participants. Look over the [Potential Tools](/2019-spring-hackathon/what-you-can-learn.md) and the [Potential Features](/2019-spring-hackathon/project-brief.md) and see what looks exciting to you. We'll discuss the pieces everyone will work on at the Kickoff meeting, having several Features or Tools you'd like to work with will help you get a good assignment.

Be sure to [Contact Us](/contact-us.md) if you have any questions!
