    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Online hackathon event. Tough but very interesting challenges! The staff members were incredibly helpful, knowledgable and friendly - both before and during the event. Perhaps there could have been a practice round for us to do in our own time beforehand so we may become familiar with the 'input()' functions as this was something I hadn't seen before. But otherwise, a great event and I'm very grateful to everyone involved.
