Webinar Highlights: A Survival Kit for Your First Hackathon
Are you interested in participating in a hackathon but don’t know where to start? Christopher Gwilliams, a women++ Board Member and Computer Scientist can help you get ready.
Watch the webinar “A Survival Kit for Your First Hackathon”, where Chris talks about how to get the most out of a hackathon without stress, overworking and having an unhealthy sleeping schedule. Chris also reminds us that hackathons are not only for coders but designers, business-related fields, etc. Every expertise adds to the table and play a role in the development of an idea.
By watching this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to work in a team and what tools to use to communicate with your team.
- How to solve problems together and the importance of having team members with different backgrounds.
- How not to get stuck with something that’s not working, and try something new.
- How to do eye-catching presentations and tools to help you with that.
- How to set to be more productive during the hackathon.
One of Chris’ most essential pieces of advice is that people should attend hackathons for themselves and not forget to have fun and learn new things, not just work.
