Last weekend, I was able to join a 3 day Hackathon organised by UC Women in Tech Society (WiTSoc), CompSpc, ProdSoc and Entre. My team (Angelica S., Philip Dolbel, Caleb Westbury, and Conor Eager) and I, can proudly and humbly say that we were able to achieve 1st Place. Our solution addresses SDG Target - Supply Chain Sustainability. What's special about this hackathon is what we were able to achieve in the span of 3 days. With the intention of bringing our solution into the world. Our app, SustainAware, enables daily consumers to scan barcodes of products. Once scanned, the app will show bite-size information about the company's sustainability practises such as environmental impact, ethics/labour and many more. With the use of this app, we hope to give power and transparency to consumers that will hopefully influence their own practises. If you thought this app is super cool and you'd love to see it in action, please don't hesitate to contact me or any from my team to support us. So far we've had awesome feedbacks and we look forward to continue this business model. I would like to personally thank the various club that brought this hackathon into action, our mentors (Lisa Donning, Jen Stevie, Dinuki Karunasekera and Pete Howard) who all made this hackathon 10000x more enjoyable, as well as to sponsors Blackbird and Partly (Claudia Mansell and Ollie Chick) for lending us their magnificent work-space (AND supplying us unlimited drinks and snacks!!!!!!!! LOL) **Note: I've added a portion of our winning business pitch on my profile under Portfolio. Though I've removed some slide to keep some information private (because WILL MAKE THIS APP SOON!!).

The 7shifts Hackathons are a great way to learn, grow, and get creative. Some of the best ideas have been implemented by enabling product, sales, engineering, and support folks to pitch ideas that solve internal or customer pain points. Having a Hackathon ritual where individuals pitch ideas to a group of engineers, who then can opt to join that cause can be empowering and also gives people the opportunity to practice communicating business value.

An insightful look into the rigorous process of solving complex problems in a hackathon setup. The clip dives into the particular challenges of a physics-based coding project, highlighting how the team focused solely on functionality to solve a hypothetical but significant societal issue. It underscores the essence of hackathons: addressing real-world problems through intense collaborative efforts and creativity.

Throwback to the second Jugaad Hacks Hackathon! 🎬🍿 We prompted our builders to take on an action movie-like theme at our second Jugaad Hacks Hackathon. 😋 We witnessed an absolutely adventurous theme, like a ghost-hunting scene in a Saw movie. 👻 Other builders took on patriotic themes and showed a lot of inspiring energy by depicting the Indian flag and other patriots! 🇮🇳 Another took on the cyberpunk-style tech theme! 🤖 This is the kind of creativity that represents the true spirit of what we want to see in our Jugaad Hacks Hackathon. 😌 If you think you have what it takes to be an outstanding builder, look out for our next Jugaad Hacks Hackathon dates! 💯😎 PS: Shout out to Ankur and Prachi for sharing the fun facts!

I always adored the idea of hackathons. Manifesting an idea into a tangible http address on the web or an app icon on your phone always fascinated me. So, waiting for an in-sight hackathon that would supposedly be organized once in one or two months seemed to be truly assess my patience. So I cracked the code, I've lead myself to use generative AI to build applications and present them in Devpost Virtual Hackathons. Following is my first hackathon / virtual hackathon I've engaged. Although the hackathon was not as thrilling as on-site hackathons, It surely was something profound. Looking forward to take part in more global hackathons.

Here is my final presentation for the WWCode Hackathon. It was my first ever hackathon, it was so much fun. I hit a lot of challenges but now that the hackathon is over I’ve keen to level-up the code for this project. 🎀 Have you tried a hackathon yet? Let me know in the comments 🎊 Ps: turn the sound up to hear the audio description of the project.

Hello connections, I might be late on sharing this as all my team mates KS Praveen, DARSHAN B Y and amogh bm have already posted about it, but as they say, good things are never too late to be shared! My team - Code Crackers managed to script ourselves as the First Runner's Up of the competition in the 24 hour national level hackathon - Symbiot '23 conducted by Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering on the 5th and 6th of May 2023 in association with IEEE! The experience was one of its kind! Here's to Team Code Crackers and many more victories to come! 🙌 #machinelearning #hackathon #symbiot #cnn

Are you, or will you be, in the Seattle area on Sept 12th? We (Temporal Technologies) are hosting a Hackathon! We'll have multiple judging categories including most "out there" use case, simplest demo of Temporal, or most interesting way to break things. And, of course, prizes!! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gbe8x2Gg Not familiar with what Temporal can do? Well, as a code-first model for building reliable systems, the possibilities are many. We've seen use-cases from infrastructure deployment and/or monitoring, to food ordering and delivery, to vehicle fleet management, to vacation trip booking, and so much more. And if you want to learn _even more_, right after the hackathon is our annual conference, Replay, with TONS of awesome speakers: https://temporal.io/replay I hope to see you there. 😀 -fitz.

📡 Just cracked the code of "Parabolic Reflector Dish" - Day 14 of Advent of Code 2023 as part of Chingu Holiday Hackathon! 🚀 Spent 34 minutes untangling Part 1 and another 30 minutes conquering Part 2. 🕵️ Understanding the puzzle posed more challenge than solving it, signaling the growing complexity as the days progress. 💡 Who else navigated the reflective code today? Let's share insights and conquer the evolving challenges together! 💻🌌 #AdventOfCode #CodingChallenge #Day14Complete #CodePuzzles #Chingu #ChinguHolidayHackathon
