Excitement and Ambition
It was our first hackathon, and I was buzzing with excitement—and maybe a touch of nervousness. I wasn’t the only one feeling that way; my friends Karthik, Raj, and Shaziya were also on edge, but for us, that was part of the thrill. We were four close friends who loved technology, problem-solving, and good challenges, and this was the perfect opportunity to bring all that together. We’d decided to build an AQI (Air Quality Index) application, but we didn’t stop there. We added weather updates, health tips, and even a chatbot that could crack a joke when you needed a break. It was ambitious.
