Nice that the form is so short but no info on who it's for nor why they should take part.
the idea behind tilt is an event that actually involves each any every participant. we are aiming at cross pollination between various disciplines in the hope that people learn to mingle outside their inner circle.
instead of simply "networking", the game element behind tilt gives attendees a way to determine if others are people they could actually work with. how do they think under duress? how well do they respond to changes in the environment? how creative are they.

however, tilt is about getting experts and creatives from different fields to work together in a novel way, with no one person in charge. personally, i'd err away from anything that promotes the student/teacher relationship in this particular context.
i think an afternoon is sufficient for a themed competition - anything longer may be less accessible to a number of our participants. this could change in future events, but we'll have to see.
This has nothing to do with a hackathon, please change the title.
the attendees are investing real time - just not an entire weekend. both myself and @neosavvy - the creators of the event - are hackers who work full time. this event is aimed at people who are curious to work with others in more than just a hacking sense. the aim isn't just to involve developers, but also individuals who have skills in other industries, such as robotics, media and biotech.
what happens to the products is whatever the teams want to do with them.
