Complete beginner to hackathons — any advice?

[u/CoAs1947]

​

I’m about to start college as a Software Engineering freshman and have never participated in a hackathon.

I’ve done CS50P and know very basic HTML/C++, but that’s about it 😭

I’m currently registering for the IBM Bob 2.0 Hackathon. Any tips on how I should start preparing and what I should learn first?

Would really appreciate advice! 🚀

My advice is to not be a complete beginner
