Success in a hackathon goes beyond technical skills. It requires the right strategy, effective teamwork, creative thinking, and the ability to present a compelling solution. This session breaks down the key elements that set winning projects apart, covering how to choose the right challenge, scope ideas effectively, manage time, and tell a powerful story. Whether you’re working on a quantum algorithm, an educational tool, or an artistic concept, understanding how to structure and present your project can be the key to success. Learn from past winners and mentors as they share insights, common pitfalls, best practices, and ways to maximize impact across all tracks.
