This page is aimed at those who are new to this camp (attending for the first time this year), or to hacker camps in general. If that's you, welcome! Below, you will find information (ranging from "nice to know" to "essential to your experience at WHY2025") about some of the most significant areas of interest of the camp.

The page is quite long! However, all the information is organised into topic sections, arranged loosely in order of importance. You are encouraged to use the Table of Contents below to help you navigate to the sections you need. Each section contains a brief description and some essential information about a topic, as well as a "Further reading" section where you can find links to more in-depth information.
