Hackathon Team Builder App

Inspiration

On the first night of the hackathon, one of the whiteboards had "2 spots empty, 2nd column, 1st row" written on it. A change in the hackathon team building ecosystem needed an immediate change!

What it does

This app is meant to help build efficient cohesive teams before and during hackathons. It will help expedite the process of finding other students with similar interest and goals, as well as reveal all possible teammates in the vicinity without having to meet them all.

How I built it

MeteorJS Framework

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Scraping MLH.io for upcoming hackathon information

What I learned

Making a thread / subreddit style website is quite tedious from scratch

What's next for Hackathon Team Builder App

1) Add a suggestions feature after posting, to find potential mathces

2) I still need to implement a reply / messaging feature
