How It Works

Our challenge prompt will be revealed at launch. Follow #weekendchallenge for updates. You can also keep an eye on the DEV Weekend Challenge page or look out for the official announcement post from the DEV Team. From there, you'll have the entire weekend to build, document, and submit your project. That's all there is to it!
