Hackathons are great for fun challenging projects, meeting people, learning about other technologies, building team spirit, practicing new skills... I wrote about my hackathon experience coding a web DDR with my daughter + other fun projects I've seen ๐Ÿ˜‰dev.to/alvaromontoro/

The best motivators are, - build for a good cause - companies/sponsors donโ€™t own the idea. You do - You earn prizes that are useful or monetary - You get to pitch this idea or get funding for it! I have participated in like 15 hackathon's, I can write a book on this topic!

I think hackathons are the best way to build something cool, meet new folks and learn team building, as there is usually intense time pressure! I built a bike finder app it tells you how many bikes or docks are available near you as 55% of Torontonians don't own a smartphone!

The best hackathon memory was winning at PennApps a few years ago. After 36 hours of hard work we had something that worked very well and I was proud of it. Whatever happened to that project... #devdiscuss
