Inspiration

We were inspired by our own stresses from school and the intense expectations of ourselves and others. We realized that we, the students, all shared the same struggles in our lives. We wanted to make something to help other people facing the same issues as us to alleviate their tensions and improve their mental health.

Challenges I ran into

At first, we were too ambitious with our ideas, resulting in a loss of time because we spent it trying to do things that were out of our reach. Our biggest challenge was having to learn multiple languages that we were completely unfamiliar with in the span of a day. Additionally, we ran into the problem of one of the borrowed laptops completely resetting towards the end of our project. Luckily, we were able to retrieve an old version, but much of the code had to be retyped. There were also issues with the WiFi and not being able to properly download essential programs. We had to resort to using a hotspot.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are proud of the fact that we were able to work as a team. This the first hackathon for most of the members as well, but we were able to keep our heads together and persevere. We were able to separate the work really well, and everyone finished their own parts. We were able to create more realistic goals and accomplished them by the end of our journey. We are all truly proud of each other that we made it to the end. We are extremely proud of the fact that we were able to learn everything we had to know to make this project cohesive and able to function successfully in the span of 36 hours.

What I learned

  • All of the languages used
  • How to work as a team
