Survival Kit for Your First Hackathon - Hack'n'Lead 2023 prep event
Are you interested in participating in a hackathon but don't know where to start? Christopher Gwilliams, a women++ Board Member and Computer Scientist can help you get ready.
Watch the webinar "A Survival Kit for Your First Hackathon", where Chris talks about how to get the most out of a hackathon without stress, overworking and having an unhealthy sleeping schedule.

How to work in a team and what tools to use to communicate with your team.
How to solve problems together and the importance of having team members with different backgrounds.
How not to get stuck with something that's not working, and try something new.
