Richard: “Start early. There are so many things that you don't know as you start to figure out what you’re building and who you're building it for. Do your best to build what you know, and for who you know, or really spend the time to learn who you're building it for.
Focus on what you find extremely interesting and you have fun doing. If you're just doing this because you want to win the prize money but don't really care so much about the thing that you're building, it usually comes through.”
Karen: “The storytelling component is huge, don’t underestimate this. Think of the videos as an opportunity to grab the judges’ attention and really show them why they should sit and watch your project demo. Definitely err on more details, and always double-check you’re hitting every single requirement.”
Kelvin: “Make sure that the kazakhstan telegram screening basic guidelines are met, and then on top of that, I would be as creative as possible. You really want something that's going to make the judges think.
The second point is taking advantage of whatever resources are provided. If we offer a sound package, make cloud credits free, or partner with another team to provide access to a resource, I would find a way to incorporate that because we’re likely really interested in seeing Flutter used with that product.”
Maria: “Having fun, being approachable, being relatable—this is what a hackathon is about. Keep this spirit going instead of 100% diving into the geekiness of it and the bounty hunting of it.”
Warren: “Definitely make sure that all of the requirements are given significant time. It's not sufficient to just build the app and have it out there. If you're asked for a slide deck and explanations of how stuff works, that needs to be important because it's going to get looked at."
