Last week I had an amazing experience of participating in #qwerhacks2021 by @qwerhacks. This was my very first hackathon and honestly, it was wonderful to take part in different challenges and attend the technical sessions and events. Starting 2021 with a bang! Are we?
Myself, @vincentspitale, and our partner Olivia won 2nd place in @qwerhacks’ education track with our chrome extension Penumbra! The extension aims to help ease eye strain while watching bright videos. Check it out: devpost.com/software/penum…
I truly had a phenomenal experience at @qwerhacks and feel like it’s built a community, even in such a short timeframe. 🌈👨💻🧑💻👩💻
woo, submitted our project for @qwerhacks a little bit late, but still accepted! :) (thanks for the extension aha). I'm very sleep deprived and don't want to see a line of React for the next week, but had a lot of fun and learned a lot!
At @qwerhacks? Like clouds? ☁️ Like *the* cloud? 👀 Then you have to check out @GCPcloud - you'll even get up to $100 of FREE Google Cloud credit! Message your MLH coach if you need any help accessing these credits! #qwerhacks2021
Good morning gaymers! @qwerhacks is just around the corner and we cannot wait to see what y'all will build! Come chill with our coaches @gu_christopher and @wlifferth on the event discord and remember, keep calm and be QWER! #qwerhacks2021
Delighted to be a part of @qwerhacks and share my gay journey of discovering tech, becoming an engineer, and advocating for more LGBTQ+ people to do the same 🏳️🌈👩💻👨💻 Watch my full keynote here: youtu.be/9Iunni8kh14
