Nock University Hackathon

Kevin Fancher

Welcome to the Nock University Hackathon.

Bakery Square Boulevard

The hackathon experience might feel intimidating at first, but when you take on one of these roles, you will walk away with something at the end of the weekend – Be it a new approach to an existing skill you already have or something shiny that you can show off and be proud of. The secret is that you don’t need to have these talents beforehand. We’ve all desired to be someone else. If you really want to be a front-end developer, you can be one! Find someone who has this desired talent and ask if you can shadow them. As a developer, I’m eager to share with a non-developer my process of how I build stuff.It&#x27;s an opportunity to learn and use things about marketing, graphic design, and data science. Through hackathons you&#x27;ll be exposed to industries including healthcare, gaming, and government. I’ve learned more about the world I live in, and learned about the people who are responsible for making things happen. I likely wouldn’t have been connected to these opportunities outside of hackathons.Aside from learning a new skill or approach, the satisfaction of trying something new, learning how to prototype quickly, and hopefully building a functioning app that you can show off with pride to your friends, family, colleagues and employers is the ultimate payoff. You leave with something tangible that you can point at and say you were a part of creating it. While some see the prizes and recognition on stage as the payoff, these are just icing on the cake.
