Creative Communities in Engineering

I first got into technology and engineering when I was introduced to the world of hackathons in high school. The idea of getting together with a community of like-minded people who just like to tinker and sharing what everyone made really exciting me. Where I was from I could not really just talk about stuff I was interested in that much, so being able to share my thoughts and experiences really blew my mind and got me hooked.
