Objective:
The objective of this event was to expose students to the real-world experience of participating in large-scale hackathons, highlight the skills required to excel in such competitions, and motivate them to take part in similar opportunities. By hearing directly from a fellow student who had been part of a historic Google Cloud Presents Agentic AI Day – 30-Hour Hackathon powered by Hack2Skill, participants were encouraged to explore innovation, teamwork, and leadership in the technology domain.
Summary:
The event was organized in our college to provide students with valuable insights into the dynamics of high-impact hackathons. A student volunteer, who was part of the organizing team for the Agentic AI Day – 30-Hour Hackathon that entered the Guinness World Records, shared their journey and learnings. They spoke about the scale of the event, the collaborative spirit among participants, and the excitement of working alongside industry experts.
One of the most impactful parts of their sharing was a conversation with Karthik Padmanabhan from Google, who advised that success comes from focusing on your interests and investing in them every single day. This advice resonated deeply with the audience and inspired them to think about their own career paths. The student also described how volunteering for such a massive event enhanced their skills in teamwork, organization, and communication, while also broadening their exposure to AI innovation and the tech community.
