HackMIT Hackathons are always a blast, and HackMIT was no exception, but it was a different experience than most. All of the other hackathon projects I’ve worked on have been about taking a few things that our team is somewhat familiar with and combining them, but with HackMIT we were learning new technologies from scratch. That was still fun, don’t get me wrong, but it was a different kind of challenge than we were used to.
