Facebook Hackathon


On March 04, 2017,  there was a hackathon being hosted by Facebook, and of course everyone in the Web Academy had to assists and be there. Obviously like the last hackaton that i assisted too we had to be there at 8 in the morning till 8 in the night. In all honesty i wasn't looking forward in going but however i did. That morning i woke up late but as soon as i got up, i got ready and left. Once i got there everyone else was already there and i was so lost and din't know what to do. I ended up knowing in the little time that i was there that we had to be in groups of 2 or 3 and since i got there late everyone already was in there groups ( good way to feel like an outcast) However i manage to find someone and that was my pal William. Throughout the whole day I'll be working with that guy in whatever we had to do for ten hours straight.
     The main purpose of this Hackaton was for every individual there to get prepare for the AP exam that we all will be taken in April. The given task that we were all suppose to do was work in Code.org and make an App Lab Project. Throughout this whole Project my partner and i worked none stopped. William and i decide that our App Lab Project will be called WiKa Trivia and it was mainly about a game know as Trivia where there were questions about Famous cats and dogs and you had to guess who was who and what were there names. I had a lot of fun that working with him and doing this project. We had some difficulties throughout the way but however thanks to our mentors Lisa and Tasha with overcome them and he got to finish and submit it on time. The Hackaton was pretty cool it self. They fed us some good food but however i have to say that there were no drinks given which made it a little upsetting but what can i do about it.
My favorite part about this event what getting to meet amazing individuals like Lisa and Tasha which i would never forget. Thanks to all their advice and patience and dedication and attention i learned a lot of coding and myself as a person. And obviously this day wouldn't have been fun if i didn't have just an amazing goofy partner as William. Lastly i would have to say that doing all this and also getting to be one of the person to win a raffle and getting a bag full with goodies, it was a great day to be a Web Designer.
