The Atoms & Bits Hackathon was put together by many amazingly successful high schoolers, and the event had a strong focus on entrepreneurship and business, which I loved. All products were required to have a business model, and our product, Ano.js, was the best of them all. I ended up forming a team with three other high schoolers and led the team from a product standpoint.

TeenTechSF Civic Hackathon was put together by TeenTechSF, a global student leadership council, and hosted at Make School, a computer science oriented private charter college. My partners and I placed second in the entire hackathon, and ended up getting an augmented reality motion sensor as a prize.

This was my first ever hackathon, and I won an honorable mention for most creative project, which was a facial recognition program powered with computer vision and deep learning.
