My FIRST Hackathon – Kode With Klossy Spring Fling Hackathon!!
Hi, blog! I participated in my first 24-hour hackathon with over 300 participants! We used EarSketch from Georgia Tech to code a song as our hackathon competition submission. While this was my first hackathon and I initially felt that I wouldn’t understand the hackathon, I ended up loving the atmosphere of the event with supportive women as we all collaboratively helped one another with our code provided feedback. My favorite aspect was the collaboration, especially lifting up the other participants and providing feedback on each other's entries. Also, my heart exploded with joy when they reposted my post on their Instagram, ahhh!!
