Hackathon Reflection

  On Saturday, December 3,2016, my digital design peers as well as I, attended an amazing hackathon!! We were all somewhat nervous since we had no idea what to expect from the event or place. We were all glad they were to serve refreshments and food, since we were going to be there for almost 11 hours. At first, I felt somewhat cool and special being able to attend a luxurious event like this one. The moment I walked into the building, you could feel the exciting aura all around the people and students. I really LOVED the fact that they had coffee and let me drink it as many times as I wanted.  Aside from that, the morning part of the hackathon was really calm and smooth, introducing me and my peers to what the day was going to look like. Our project was to make a product based on bias statements. The product would later be posted on a website created by yourself and your peers. At the end of the day, we did have our product handed in on time but had a lot of errors. But I really enjoyed this experience !!! It was so much fun being able to code surrounded by new people and helping you innovate yourself in order to work harder! I'll definitely go to another hackathon soon enough!!
