Thinking about joining a hackathon but aren’t sure where to start?
Hackathon participation sounds awesome. But…it can also feel intimidating. Much of the ritual appears to be tribal knowledge among its veterans. So how are newcomers able to get involved and benefit the most from their experience?
The trick is to just go: have a great time hacking, making friends and learning!
I participated (and won a prize!) in my first hackathon yesterday. By reflecting on my experience, I’m hoping to demystify the process and provide some encouragement for other hackathon newbies.
