In this talk, Tippi Fifestarr, Events Lead for DevRel University, will share a powerful framework for winning Hackathon teams and projects. WIN is an acronym for 3 steps to success in any hackathon. The idea digs into what else you can win from a hackathon, and how this can shift your career.
Concept introduction: The real hackathon project is yourself.
In this talk, Tippi emphasizes that true success in hackathons doesn't just mean grabbing the top prize, but also means personal growth, networking, and a shift in perspective that can accelerate one's career. Through the WIN framework, Tippi aims to reshape the way attendees approach hackathons, ensuring they extract the maximum value from the experience.
This talk was adapted from Tippi's article "How to WIN Every Hackathon" (link) for EthChicago with the support of DevRel University.
