…the hackathon was a significant
factor in the project's success…scheduling the
hackathon earlier in the
tool development
process would have been
even more beneficial.

Comments and suggestions
What is your age?
Your Comments and Suggestions “Awesome~ we met together and learned a lot from teammates and competitors.“
"Overall, I really enjoyed the hackathon. Thanks for organizing it!"
“Great platform to learn new concepts and establish good collaborations."
"Special Lecture by Jake Chen...was great and informative. I wish it should have been
delivered earlier…to help the researchers who are beginners in ML.
"Will it happen next year?"
"Would be nice to collaborate with more exclusive, clinical datasets only for the
hackathon. Thank you everyone :-)"
"Time for showcase is not enough“
"Earlier announcement and preparation“, “sharing the resources and links with better
documentation“, “present the contact information clearly“, “team formation process
could be more clear.”
"Too formal....have the lead up sessions simply be a workshop....It felt a bit daunting.
