HEX Degree Accelerator

I came into this experience thinking of it as just another subject. But wow. All of my expectations were blown out of the water, and I could not recommend what the Hacker Exchange put together enough! This program was amazing, and although I really enjoyed the challenge of working across time zones, it was such a worthwhile experience. Thank you to all of the team that put this together, and to the speakers and mentors for their time. It was a great experience, and I will be recommending this to anyone who wants to have a go at this amazing challenge.

The workshops by the guest speakers were mostly inspirational and motivational, rather than directly helping us with our 'idea.' However, I still appreciated them because they gave me insights on different aspects of life. The one workshop/talk that was very memorable was the 'Goal Setting' by Josh Farr - it opened up a whole new world to me of what good leadership is like.

As far as remote/online experiences go, Hex went above and beyond to make the Great Global Challenge as exciting and interactive as possible. I was skeptical when signing up to a programme that was 100% remote, knowing that I would be working with a team from across the globe as I wasn't sure how engaging the programme would be when you're working out of your bedroom but Hex really blew me away! Every day I woke up excited to get started with whatever was happening that day and to work on the challenge with my team, who I'm excited to meet in person once Covid has passed! I'd urge you to take up any opportunity offered by Hex!
