Hello,

I will tell you about my first Hackathon which took place during November 26th to 28th.


Who am I?

I am a young French developer of 14 years old and I participated in a regional hackathon.


How did that happen?

My first Hackathon was a great experience. As I was the only teenager, I was greeted like a king!
During the presentation of the event to the media, I was called by the organizer to answer questions in front of a hundred people (luckily I did theater)!

What was the problem?

The problem was as follows: "A weekend to invent the city center of tomorrow"

What did I present?

I presented a project called "Thi'Com". This project aims to improve communication between downtown merchants and customers. To do this, we had the idea of ​​using digital signs that would advertise downtown merchants. I'm not going to scatter over the business plan but if anyone is interested let me know.

What did I win?

Thanks to my project and my pitch, I won € 6,000 in support from the local startup incubator.

Thank you for giving me about 5 minutes of your time! ☺
If you could give me any advice or ideas for a project to do as a teenager, I am open to any proposal!

Cordially,
Samy.
