Excited to share my experience from the pre-Hackathon event for Hack Dearborn 3 at ZF’s Farmington Hills office this past Friday! ? It was fantastic to connect and interact with talented individuals and professionals like Preet Gill, Mark Losey, Pavneet Singh, Jeremy Whitcher, Andrew Henwood from amazing companies like ZF and Fetch.ai. Hearing about their revolutionary technologies and the impact they're making was truly inspiring. Shoutout to Abdu Tello for leading an insightful API workshop! It was great to network and brainstorm hackathon ideas with Kritika Sharma and Pooja Gurav. We had the chance to identify a real-world challenge and come up with a creative solution to pitch to our judges in preparation for HD3. It felt like a sprint hackathon. I couldn't be more excited to be part of the organizing team for Hack Dearborn 3 this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone on October 12!? #HackDearborn3 #Networking #Innovation #TechCommunity
