Planning and Executing a College-Level Hackathon
The hackathon was planned with a focus on creating a smooth and structured experience for participants. From defining the problem statements to coordinating schedules, every step required careful planning and attention to detail. The goal was to ensure that participants could focus on building solutions while the event operations, timelines, and technical setup ran seamlessly in the background.
Managing Teams, Workflows, and Technical Coordination
During the event, I managed multiple teams, handled project workflows, and coordinated technical requirements. This included guiding participants, resolving real-time issues, and ensuring smooth collaboration between mentors, judges, and organizers. The experience highlighted the importance of communication, adaptability, and decision-making when managing a fast-paced technical event.
Leadership, Problem-Solving, and Real-World Experience
Organizing the hackathon strengthened my leadership and problem-solving skills by exposing me to real-world challenges such as time constraints, participant coordination, and unexpected technical issues. This experience provided valuable insight into managing large-scale technical events while maintaining clarity, structure, and a positive learning environment.
