<strong>CKY</strong> Hackathon Participants' reflection<br />

Through this Hackathon, we were able to gain more knowledge<br />

about prototyping, branding, marketing and presentations. The<br />

workshops inspired us to consider more features we may add<br />

to our user interface. If we had more time or planned to<br />

continue working on our product, the secret to winning is<br />

teamwork and playing to our strengths, like pieces of a puzzle<br />

joined together.<br />

Team 1: Health Ninja (Freeman Lo, Cedric Hung,<br />

Michael Yung, Elliot Sun)<br />

One thing we can say is that the product is not the heart of the<br />

project, the people are. We learned the importance of considering<br />

the target audience when developing products and their needs. Time<br />

management is also very important. We were lagging behind at first<br />

since we did not plan out a schedule. But later, we realised that this<br />

was a serious <strong>issue</strong> and decided to plan out a timetable, following it<br />

strictly.<br />

Team 6: Cot Care (Terry Wong, Thomas Wong, Kyle Lee,<br />

Mike Lau)<br />

This competition was something new for<br />

me. Although some of us are already<br />

versed in technical skills taught, we got to<br />

make a new friend which I think is a much<br />

better payoff than anything we could have<br />

received. The Hackathon is a great<br />

competition experience for me. Not only did<br />

we learn to work as a team, but also<br />

practised our presentation skills<br />

We learned a lot about STEM perspectives and applications<br />

regarding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths. We<br />

have the knowledge of how to apply these concepts in our<br />

daily lives and solve problems. We felt thrilled during the event<br />

as we got to work with our friends and can make a prototype of<br />

our own. When we knew that we won an award, we were<br />

excited because it meant that our idea was approved and<br />

validated. We look forward to participating in next year's<br />

competition again and hope we can get a better result next<br />

time and be the champions.<br />

Team 7: Borg (Heiden Chan, Gavin Wu)<br />

Team 8: Fuzzball (Nathan Kwok, Marcus<br />

Lam, Jay Law, Isaac Ngan)<br />
