#2"Life is a series of opportunities, and we either take them, ignore them or waste them. Sometimes, life gives us a handful to give away and I realise now that hackathons are the best way of doing that." - Fares, organiser of HackLondon 2015

#3I was at Kairos Hacks last weekend, which was running parallel to HackLondon and I most certainly echo the same sentiment, it was a great outlet for a lot of my pent up energy and I'm really grateful to MLH and all of their volunteers for being awesome and providing us a very positive environment for us to make awesome things!

I ended up writing a tool that extracts meaningful information from the Spanish elections : https://github.com/shadeslayer/dataminer , which can be further visualized on a website. Its not the most proficient code ever, but it's a start :)

Awesome to hear about your experience at KHacks and thanks for sharing the event write ups!
Have you got plans to go to more hackathons? Might see you at the next one! :)

Ofcourse! I'd be delighted to! As long as they don't have a age barrier ( the one in Barcelona was organized for under 25's only )

#6As a student for the last three years, the rise in student hackathon and any tech-related activity has been nothing short of immense.
I think a big part of that is thanks to students like those behind HackLondon and similar events who work tirelessly (and sleepless-ly) to get people excited and sharing their work.
It's a good time to be a student in tech!

Kairos is an awesome organization. I'm extremely glad I was able to join. Hopefully, I'll be making the next hackathon.
