As a fresher, the opportunity to participate in a hackathon competition came up, making it both exciting and nerve-wracking for the author.
The team formed aimed to build a website for Anweshan, which is a platform where students showcase their talents, network with peers, and experience cutting-edge technology and creativity.
The website includes features such as registration, updated event information, galleries, and reviews from experienced participants to guide future participation.
The hackathon experience was memorable for the author, and one of the highlights was the feedback from mentors that proved to be a game-changer for the project.
The presentation was exciting, and the author was overwhelmed when the team won the 'Best Freshers Team' award jointly.
The hackathon experience taught the author how to work effectively in a team, handle pressure, and think creatively under time constraints while boosting their confidence and emphasising the importance of collaboration.
The experience inspired the author to take on more challenges and explore the endless possibilities in the tech world.
The author hopes to inspire other freshers by encouraging them to participate in a hackathon, regardless of their coding skills or experience.
Grateful for the team's dedication, mentors' guidance, and organizers' remarkable platform, the hackathon experience was only the beginning of the author's journey.
