Most of them work for one of Felon Musk’s companies but at least one was installed by right-wing German born oligarch Peter Thiel. One of them was hired after winning a “hackathon” contest! muskrat is now saying he re-hired the anti-Indian racist one that resigned.

HBCU Students Make Moves with NASA Tech

In September 2023, students at HBCUs participated in a hackathon at the National HBCU Week Conference, where they used NASA’s technologies to create solutions to problems that affect Black communities. The winning team, Team Airtek, proposed a nano-sensor array for medical diagnoses that would give students on HBCU campuses a non-invasive, non-intensive way to test themselves for precursors for diseases and illnesses like diabetes and COVID.

The hackathon they participated in is a modified version of the full NASA Minority University Research and Education Project Innovation and Tech Transfer Idea Competition (MITTIC) that takes place each fall and spring semester at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

No matter what you’re studying, you can join the MITTIC competition and come up with new and innovative tech to help your community and the world.

MITTIC could be the beginning of your career pathway: Teams can go on exclusive NASA tours and network with industry experts. Show off your entrepreneurial skills and your team could earn money—and bragging rights.

Don’t wait too long to apply or to share with someone who should apply! The deadline for proposals is Oct. 16, 2023. Apply here: https://microgravityuniversity.jsc.nasa.gov/nasamittic.

142/366 Days of Growth

Tired, but still giving my best. Finished PCI-DSS on Qualys, and now starting ISO27001 course from SkillFront.

Also, I am preparing myself for my first Hackathon for women. The theme is women in the game universe: challenges, and other struggles. I will participate with my sisters, one of then is also a developer (Golang), and the other is a psychopedagogue 😀 we are excited to work together and have fun.

We will give our best!

How's your week going? 😗

the last time I made a post about the hackathon, I was pretty much feeling like shit but literally after having a breakdown, I finally calmed myself down and i am really coding the shit out of this project. I am not close to the final destination but I know everything I need to do and am working to perfect it. i really have to win this (tbh, i think I will win)

Hackathon Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts for Student Participants

Hackathons are exciting, high-energy events where students come together to solve real-world problems, collaborate, and showcase their skills. They offer fantastic opportunities for learning, networking, and potential career boosts. However, they can also be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. Understanding proper hackathon etiquette can make the experience smoother, more enjoyable, and productive. Here’s a guide to the essential do’s and don’ts to help you navigate your hackathon experience.

Do’s for Hackathon Success

Do Plan Ahead

Preparation: Before attending, review the event guidelines, understand the theme, and decide whether you'll participate solo or as part of a team. If you’re teaming up, meet beforehand to discuss ideas. Ensure you have all necessary tools, such as laptops, chargers, and pre-installed software, ready before the event starts.

Bonus Tip: Bring snacks and water to stay energized throughout long hours!

Do Be Open to Learning

Growth Mindset: Hackathons are about learning as much as they are about winning. Embrace the opportunity to develop coding skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek help from mentors and peers.

Remember: Even if you don’t win, the skills and knowledge gained are invaluable.

Do Communicate Clearly with Your Team

Team Dynamics: Effective communication is key. Ensure everyone understands the project’s direction, roles, and task distribution. Regular check-ins can help keep everyone aligned and address any issues promptly.

Transparency: If you face challenges, communicate them openly with your team to resolve them quickly.

Do Show Respect for Others’ Ideas

Collaboration: Hackathons bring together diverse ideas. Listen to and respect all contributions, even if they differ from your own. Offer constructive feedback rather than dismissing ideas outright.

Team Spirit: Fostering a respectful environment helps your team succeed.

Do Stay Organized

Project Management: With the fast pace of hackathons, staying organized is crucial. Use tools like task boards, to-do lists, or project management software to keep track of tasks and deadlines.

Code and Documentation: Organize your code and documentation to ensure a smooth final presentation.

Do Take Breaks

Self-Care: While it’s tempting to push through without breaks, taking time to rest can enhance focus and prevent burnout. Utilize breaks to grab a coffee, stretch, or participate in event activities.

Recharge: Many hackathons offer activities between coding sessions—take advantage of these to unwind and connect with others.

Don’ts to Avoid at a Hackathon

Don’t Hog Resources or Tools

Share Fairly: Hackathons often have limited resources like power outlets and equipment. Be mindful of sharing and use resources efficiently. For instance, if you have access to a power strip, allow others to use it too.

Respect: Sharing resources ensures a positive experience for everyone involved.

Don’t Ignore the Rules

Follow Guidelines: Each hackathon has specific rules and guidelines. Ignoring or bending these rules can lead to disqualification and unfair advantages. Understand the rules thoroughly and seek clarification from organizers if needed.

Fair Play: Adhering to the rules ensures a level playing field and respects the event’s integrity.

Don’t Overcomplicate Your Project

Scope: Ambitious ideas are great, but keep in mind the time constraints. Focus on a simpler, well-executed project rather than an overly complex one that may not be completed on time.

Functionality: Your project doesn’t need to be perfect, but it should be functional and demonstrate your team’s capabilities.

Don’t Be Overly Competitive

Sportsmanship: While competition is part of the fun, avoid behaviors like trash-talking or sabotaging others. Maintain a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.

Focus: Aim to win but keep sportsmanship and camaraderie at the forefront.

Don’t Be a Lone Wolf

Teamwork: Even if you’re an expert, don’t isolate yourself from your team. Share your progress, seek feedback, and assist others. Collaboration often leads to better outcomes.

Participation: Working together strengthens the project and enhances the experience for everyone.

Don’t Forget the Presentation

Final Impression: A well-executed presentation is crucial for making an impact. Practice presenting your project clearly, highlighting its key features and benefits.

Preparation: A good presentation can significantly influence the judges, even if the project itself isn’t perfect.

Bonus Tip: Network!

Hackathons attract talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. Take the opportunity to network, make new connections, and engage with mentors or industry professionals. These interactions can lead to future job opportunities, collaborations, or partnerships. Networking is a key aspect of the hackathon experience, so don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and engage in conversations.

Conclusion

Hackathons are incredible learning opportunities that allow students to grow both personally and professionally. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can ensure a productive, enjoyable, and respectful experience. Whether it's your first hackathon or your tenth, proper etiquette will help you build stronger connections, work effectively with your team, and make the most of the event. So, gear up, gather your team, and dive into the world of hackathons with confidence!

my WaffleHacks 2023 submission

This was my first hackathon! A bit late in the game as a 4th year, I was always too intimidated by the idea of trying to write an entire project in a day and then have it judged and compared to other projects that are probably leagues better than mine. But a waffle themed hackathon was much less intimidating.

My project is Packmate. It's supposed to help you decide how many of X item to bring, somewhat inspired by those posts/memes that are like "I'm bringing 12 pairs of underwear on my 2 day weekend trip, y'know, in case i shit myself 10 times"

As you can probably tell, it's not finished😭 I actually decided to join this hackathon super last minute, and still I didn't even start until yesterday afternoon (submission was today at noon), so I didn't work on it for as long as I would've liked to.

I am a bit upset that I didn't get to implement my full concept for the project (I actually wanted to use an Accuweather API to have it check the weather and select different types of clothes you need during your trip but that was not happening in this timeframe lol), but in the end I'm happy for the experience.

Rather than aiming for any prizes or ranking, I ended up just using this project to focus on practicing html/css design, which is what I want to improve in. This was also really good practice in project timeline estimation, feature prioritization etc. I was able to whittle down my feature wishlist and focus on what I know was realistic for me in my timeline.

I was honestly unsure if I would even have *enough* project to be worth submitting. There were so many points yesterday where I was like "This is hard. This isn't school, I could quit right now with zero repercussions" lol. But in the end, I'm proud (and ngl a little surprised at myself) to have submitted anything at all, let alone a somewhat finished demo of something I had only conceptualized hours before.

So thanks Wafflehacks for being waffle themed. This is hopefully my first of many!

ENFJ: one person is carrying this hackathon team. He has experience on every single aspect of this project and we are all babies.

INTJ: you get experience from fucking up too.

ENFJ: ….i don’t like that you’re correct.
