TinkerHack
TinkerHack?
- Tink-Her-Hack is an overnight girl's only hackathon organised by Tinkerhub. It was organised in multiple colleges with over 50+ venues throughout Kerala.
- It was organised in my college too. Huge shoutout to Sana Mohammed Sahi, TinkerHub Campus Lead SCET and every other volunteers who
helped in organising this event.
- The hackathon was conducted on Feb 1 and 2. The event started at around 2 pm on 1st Feb and ended on 11 am 2nd Feb.
My role in it?
- I participated as a mentor for guiding the teams participating in the hackathon.
- GDG was also in collaboration with Tinkerhub in organising this event. Hence, GDG was handling the technical side of the hackathon. Me and Angena Jaison selected the mentors and handled other technical aspects of the hackathon. Adwaith Jayansankar - GDG Campus Lead guided and supported us through this.
- There were several other mentors with me. Everyone one of them were great and provided insights and advices to the teams who participated in the event.
- Along with the mentorship, We also conducted two workshops prior to the hackthon to throw some light into what development feels like.
- It was a great experience sharing my knowledge with others. I love to explain what I know and share what I know with others.
- The workshop was focused on HTML, CSS and Javascript and on how to host a website on Github.
Experience?
- Since I was also in the technical team in organising the event It was a great experience for me to find out what it feels to organise an event.
- The event kicked off at 2 PM on February 1 with an inaugural ceremony. After verifying the teams and distributing goodies, the competition officially began.
- Got to meet and connect with a lot of students and it was great hearing about their ideas.
- Most of the mentors were given two teams to mentor. I also mentored two teams. One of the teams was from my class, and the other consisted of our juniors.
- Everyone was then busy up until midnight building their projects. At midnight the culturals were organised.
- Many were tired after all the events. Some slept but some of them coded till morning.
The End
- I also didn't sleep till morning (or maybe for an hour?). So I was really tired too. We had breakfast and hung out for a bit.
- But now was the time for the results. The pariticipants pushed their code to github, hosted their projects and then the judgement begin.
- Many of them had really nice ideas but there has to be a winner right?
- The team who bagged the first position was team @user-not-found. Congratulations to them.
- Finally the prizes were distributed and everyone said good byes and it was time to leave.
- It was a good experience staying overnight, with friends, music and lots of code.
