Hackathon Projects

A group of students working on laptops at a hackathon

I had never participated in a hackathon until my senior year of college when I rode the hackathon high and participated in four! All the projects I've showcased below were built in 24-36 hours on teams of 2-4. Overall, I really enjoyed the hackathon experience and the rush of being able to "ship" a product that works to some capacity.
