Why is it called the Naabathon?

Great question! The name is an homage to the gracious Punaabs of Ogrika Harbors, who accepted the leading sponsorship of our very first hackathon! The Punaab species, as a whole, are naturally passionate about supporting innovation, so they didn’t hesitate to jump in right away and support this event. Cheers to our little fellows!
