My Second Hackathon Was Awesome! Here are some tips for a great hackathon.

So we started with our amazing Idea educrypt, though none of us knew how to make a discord bot, except me I had little knowledge... Our project was based on discord and the web.

You know why this hackathon was successful? Because of team work.

So here are some tips for a successful team:

Be respectful to each other.

Listen to every idea, then decide.

Don't be stubborn

Give your own ideas

Complete the work assigned to you

And have fun!

Contribute

You can see, our project on devpost: https://devpost.com/software/educrypt

Also the organisers were always active in discord, and were really helpful.

So great team + great organisers are the main elements which identify a great hackathon experience.

Here are some things to consider before teaming with other people:

Time zone,(if they are dedicated and can meet in early morning or late nights then this does not matter)

Skills (Do they have skills, similar to yours? Even if they have only some skills, if they can learn new things fast, then this does not matter also.)

So I hope that you win your next hackathon, till then:
