EXPERIENCE AT HACK ON 2.0

In May 2021, I participated in the HackOn Hackathon . The team comprised Soumya Bhardwaj and Srishti Tiwari. We got the award for BEST WOMEN AND LGTQIA+ Team by Amagi.

The project was an application called Pravesh Aadhar.

The purpose of the app was to present some necessary information about the Current Pandemic COVID-19. It has two essential features and was typically based on data feeding. Through Machine learning, the app provided information to the user as to how many people around it are wearing masks which is essential in these new waves of Covid that we are currently facing.

The second feature worked on the input given by the users in which they will rate restaurants based on several points like sanitation, social distancing and mask use.

The main inspiration behind it was that we don’t usually know how many precautions people take during these difficult times. Through our application, some of the quintessential precautions like sanitation and social distancing can help save us.

The Hackathon provided us with a platform to showcase our skills as coders and presenters. The event itself was very refreshing during these times of quarantine as it had several quizzes and interactions.

The event started with the mentors giving us an overview of the whole event along with synchronising synergies with all the participants.

This was followed by the formation of an elaborate and highly detailed discord channel.

The kind of experience provided by HackOn was incredibly unforgettable. I hope I can further become associated with the committee of the Hackathon and increase and improve my area of exposure.
