Overview of Logistics

QiqoChat

Waterhackweek will rely on QiqoChat as our virtual platform for the week. QiqoChat is a wrapper for Zoom (and other applications) that allows us to create detailed calendar events and manage video breakout rooms.

Get started on the Waterhackweek QiqoChat by going to https://waterhack.qiqochat.com and creating your profile!

• Make sure to add a profile picture!
• Add your skills: Red for skills you want to learn, yellow for skills you have, and green for skills you can teach.
• Check out the Member directory to visualize our cohort and our skillsets.

Within the main Waterhack QiqoChat "circle", we can collaborate and meet online year-round through different events. Check out the events page, https://waterhack.qiqochat.com/events. You can easily convert your calendar events to your time zone on this page.

Waterhackweek 2020 activities will take place within the Waterhackweek 2020 event.

Communicating via Slack chat
