Challenges We ran into

We had technical coding errors while making the website.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

In such a short time period we were able to overcome all technical errors and create a functional website based on an original creative concept.

What We learned

Time Management, Organization of Tasks, and troubleshooting code

What's next for Underground Railroad

The Underground Railroad may have more features added to it such as a 3D AR/VR application or a user to user chats.

It was my first hackathon. I literally had to learn html and make the website as I was learning. But it was fun experience I will never forgot. Thanks to my teammates: Gaurav who made my the website even better. And Niti who did some much research and enhanced our workflow.

This was my first hackathon as well. The amount of history research and writing I did was painful, but the end result with the efforts of Kartik and Gaurav was worth it. A big thanks to Kartik and Gaurav for spending so much time on perfecting the website.

Niti Reddy
This was also my first Hackathon. The amount of work put in by all of us was on another level. The sleepless nights were a pain, but definitely worth it. And none of this would have been possible without Niti and Kartik and their dedication. Thanks a lot!
