Facebook Hackathon

  The Facebook hackathon was a very fun and interesting hackathon. As we learned many new aspects of Web Design/Coding. To start off with getting there was quite easy as finding the location was quite difficult. Once I arrived I was greeted and I signed my name to be registered into this hackathon. I did make a few friends while I was waiting since I got there an hour early. I got a shirt that they gave and soon saw friends from my school entering the building. As I , Leslie, and Veronica made a group to work together. We had mentors but my mentor wasn't that helpful. As I didn't know much about him and wasn't that social. So I decided to divide the jobs within the group. Our task was to create an application that would be designed on a smart phone. the task was to identify and solve a real world problem. Fairly easy as we decided to do Animal cruelty. As we split the work and I decided to do the wire-frames, logo, color schemes. Usually the designing and visual presentation. Leslie and Veronica did the writing part of it. But I did one of the pages using Html,CSS, and JavaScript. This was a difficult task and asked for help from my peers. It became easier as I got the hang of it.I then finished my work early and decided to work on the AP

CSP Essay, which was time consuming. Their were many questions and was difficult at times. One thing I would change is using my time wisely and having some coherent skills to socialize with others. I did make new friends and learned about designing and putting in JavaScript. Lastly, this hackathon was very helpful and interesting to be part of.
