How to Win a Hackathon
ABOUT THIS SESSION
Hackathons can be all fun and games, but why not go in with a winning attitude?
Join Sandra Hernandez for an interactive session on how to win a hackathon. She has won several herself and sat on the judging panel, so she knows what it looks like from both sides.
WHAT WE'LL COVER:
Picking the right idea: how to choose a problem you can actually build in time.
Building as a team: how to split the work and get something you can demo.
Pitching to the judges: what judges look for, and how to make your demo stand out.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Anyone new to hackathons. If you've ever turned up, been handed some credits and told to build, with no idea where to start, this one's for you. You'll leave with a simple plan for the day, so you know what to do from the first hour to the final pitch.
