    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The event was very interesting being my first Hackathon! It ran very smoothly and gave me a nice little insight on Amazon (and their principles) and specifically Prime Video (as two speakers talked about).


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes definitely! I’ve learnt more about how a hackathon runs but also not to give up - it’s just a bit of fun! I also had the chance to develop my Java skills from understanding the questions e.g., learning about the sort() method which sorts an array.
