Agreed, I enjoy attending hackathons as mentor. These events always run short of volunteers and new attendees are usually afraid to ask questions thinking their peers will label them dumb. It's easy to identify the teams that are struggling, chat with them about their idea, soon enough they will open up and seek advise. When everything fails, "Goat Simulator" it's a fool proof way to break the ice.
