This video is why I started this channel in the first place – to share life experiences, document the journey, the ups and downs with each of you. It took 50 days and multiple rounds of feedback from my friends (thank you!) to get to where it is today. I hope you’ve gotten value out of this video. If you’d like to learn from Tien’s top hackathon strategies, comment below!

    wow the devs coded a full on prototype in less than 48 hours, which is very impressive to me! congrats on the win guys!
  • @toruwalt
    I swear, you're more of a film maker than UI/UX Designer 😂😂 This is very beautiful
  • @CaliburPANDAs
    so Tien never won before because his team was always missing an UI/UX designer?
  • @Tanaka-Buchou
    I've tried at least 5 hackathons and the outcome is either my solution isn't accepted or I give up, most of the time. Last month, I decided to try another hackathon but I was looking for a content that will motivate me and i came across yours. Rachel, I really appreciate you for sharing your first hackathon experience. It was my inspiration during that hackathon and I am happy to share that I won my first hackathon.

  • @emeraldzhu
    as someone who's never participated in a hackathon because of impostor syndrome, this video was something else... your win felt like I won too, congrats 💯 new sub
  • @anfisign
    With storytelling like this, who needs case studies? Bravo, Rachel! 🎉 -- I was on the service design jam 2 weekends ago too, but I'd never be able to put so much heart and soul into telling the story so beautifully.
  • @opeodunlami
    Congratulations on winning your first hackathon, Rachel! Like every video of yours I've watched, this was interesting and insightful, but it gave me goosebumps. You put in a lot of work, and it was exciting to see you win. Well done and congratulations to you and your team!

  • @rednaxela5
    Congratulations Rachel! This is my first time watching your video and it feels amazing. The storytelling is very good and it touched my heart. I'm currently a college student and also experienced and love joining case studies, and programming contests. I literally cried the moment they announce that your team is the winner. This video made me want to join more programming related contests.
