Hackathon Galvanize



  The Hackathon on December 3 2016 was a very fun and interactive hackathon. It was my first ever hackathon and I felt great knowing about it. In this hackathon we were focusing on Bias. We had to make a product and brainstorm ideas on the solutions of the product. This was difficult and we had about 5-6 hours to do all this. But their was pressure because of the mentors and other schools that are in this competition. But honestly seeing my class mates and making new friends is what I loved the most. We not only learn but interact with each other. We work together and try to make our product as best as possible. Our product was called the INCLUB which was an app that will bring a change to gender equality. I was the designer of this project and made We then gather all our designs and research and make a website. We then present this website to the judges and other schools. We had 2 minutes to describe about what our product is and how it could benefit the world. Not only the hackathon we make friends but we get prizes throughout the day. Many were like stickers, key chains, etc. The food was also great because of the chip tole and pizza that they ordered.  To sum up this hackathon was very fun and I enjoyed this first hackathon.
