At ManMetHacks 2.0 I assisted the 20+ teams of 120+ attendees with their technical issues, teaching them the skills require for them to complete their task, then at the end of the Hackathon I was part of the judging panel to dictate the winners.
Attended StudentHack VII in UoM's Renold Building.

Our idea was to make the process of appointments smoother, helping those that might have anxiety calmer and less likely to skip, my role was web development.
