Some Participant Highlights:

  • “Before this hackathon, I won’t mingle with people so quickly, especially groups I always wanted to be in my small bubble. But in this hackathon, I just got easily along with my teammates and with other participants. ” – Tharunikha, Hackathon Participant
 
  • “I got to learn that the creativity and innovation to find unique solutions to real world problems is the key factor to crack any Hackathon and will keep that in mind now. I learned teamwork and some unfamiliar tools and technologies. Got a ton of new knowledge from industrial experts.” – Vaishhavi, Hackathon Participant

  • “I first hesitated to participate in this event, Because i didn’t even know what hackathons would be like. But after sometime I decided to participate just so that I can get to know about new stuffs and also to come out of my comfort zone.  Honestly, I didn’t research much about the hackathon..but I did searched about KLA and SSF and get to know about things. I was so excited to be there.  The team shuffling was something unexpected although we were informed earlier, I thought that it was just to make us afraid or like to make us well prepared. But when I reached KLA, I was totally shocked to see the shuffling process going on.  I was nervous and was praying to get at least one of my friends as my team mates but it didn’t help me. I felt like all alone at first when I picked up the slot.  But my team mates were really friendly and were genius of course.   I couldn’t help them well as I didn’t know much about the technical stuffs. Though I tried to help them as much as i can. That was the only thing which is making me quite guilty as of now. We are still in touch and are trying to improve our project. I decided to improve myself and learn more things to come out of my comfort zone completely. Thank you KLA and SSF for holding such an amazing event which was really a wonderful opportunity for me to get to know about many technical related things.  I would love to appear for the next KLA hackathon to learn even more and to show my skills.  And thank you so much for the Food and Snacks which i loved the most there.   Thank you KLA & SSF. Hoping to see you again in Future. Will be missing the whole team. Thank you guys for your efforts to make this event a wonderful experience and memorable. Love KLA & SSF. “  – Vasumathi M, Hackathon Participant
