Oh my god, where do I even start? BlockTrain was an absolute rollercoaster of an experience! From the moment we boarded the train in Bangalore, the excitement was palpable. The idea of hacking while on a moving train was both thrilling and a bit daunting. But as soon as we settled into our cabins, the energy among the participants was infectious.
Slept the first night, coz networking and all that jazz. The next day, we woke up to the sound of a DJ playing old songs with banger remixes. The vibe was electric! Started brainstorming with random teammates and pivoted almost 5 times!
The mentors were super approachable and always ready to help. They helped us finalize our idea and gave us some invaluable feedback. The food was surprisingly good for train food, and the swag? Let's just say I think I have a new favorite hackathon for swag now.
The journey itself was an adventure. We passed through some beautiful landscapes, and the changing scenery kept us inspired. There were moments of intense focus, but also plenty of laughter and camaraderie. Met some amazing people, and I can already see some lifelong friendships forming.
Cheers to the Devfolio team for organizing such a unique and memorable hackathon 🥂
