I am proud of all our extraordinary College of Charleston interdisciplinary students who spent this weekend participating in the CharlestonHacks HarborHack, including sophomores Mackenzie Linn (CSCI/INTL) Emma Noonan (DATA) Catherine Cozad (COMM), Aiden Camilleri, and Saif Chaudhry and Autumn Burkett in the College of Charleston Honors College See their idea for ROOTS on DevPost; https://lnkd.in/eRG9iwVe Inspiration Growing up in America as children and grandchildren of immigrants, we often can't connect with our heritage. It is difficult for us to interact with our extended family, and we feel disconnected from our culture. What it does This app allows users to explore and share their personal heritage through dynamic profiles, showcasing cultural traditions and family history. It fosters connections by letting users join communities based on shared heritage, cultural interests, or regional backgrounds, creating a space for collective storytelling and deeper cultural exploration. It combines the discovery aspects of tracing family roots with an interactive, scrollable interface, helping users engage with their cultural identity in a meaningful way. How we built it We used HTML and CSS to build the front-end design of the website. We then used Python and Javascript to create people objects and dynamic interfaces. Challenges we ran into As sophomores, we still haven't had much education in programming languages, so we learned pretty much everything while creating the product. In addition, we struggled sharing the code with one another and keeping the data updated. We were able to communicate with each other effectively and learn so much while making this project! Accomplishments that we're proud of We are really proud of being able to combine front-end and back-end development together to create an updatable interface with really unique scrolling. We also did all of the coding ourselves without using any APIs. This allowed us to really learn what we were doing and apply the knowledge we have been taught in class. What we learned We really learned how to combine many different languages to create a dynamic user interface. Before starting this weekend none of the members of this group had ever created a dynamic website, so we all took so much away from this experience. What's next for Roots We would love to be able to create a system to separate user profiles and then add multiple communities under one profile.

I’m thrilled to share that I had the opportunity to participate in the INNOGEN’25 Mega Hackathon held on January 23 and 24, 2025. It was an incredible experience where I got to challenge myself, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and explore innovative ideas. Events like these remind me why I love being in the tech space—it’s all about creativity, problem-solving, and pushing boundaries. Hackathons are not just competitions; they’re platforms to learn, grow, and build connections. While the long hours and brainstorming sessions can be intense, the sense of accomplishment and the lessons learned are always worth it. If you’re ever hesitant about joining a hackathon, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It’s a great way to grow, both personally and professionally. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learned and participating in more such events in the future! #Hackathon #Innovation #Technology #Creativity #Collaboration #INNOGEN25 #Arczon #StartupIndia #ProfessionalGrowth #EngineeringStudents #ProblemSolving #TechInnovation #FutureOfTechnology #SkillsForSuccess #BuildingTheFuture #HackathonExperience #EngineeringInnovation #TeamworkAndCollaboration
