Hackathon Mentoring
Guiding the next generation of engineers through technical problem-solving and rapid prototyping sessions.
Transitioning from participant to mentor allowed for a different Perspective on the creative process. Mentoring during national hackathons involves helping teams narrow their scope, debug critical systems, and sharpen their final pitch.
It is an exercise in “applied wisdom”—recognizing common pitfalls in project management and technical architecture before they become fatal to a project and guiding students toward resilient solutions.
