NwHacks 2018

This was my first hack-a-thon and it was wild. I had no team when I arrived and eventally found one during the team-building session. My team attempted to make a nueral net using TensorFlow, Python and a Leap-Motion to interpret Australian Sign Langauge. It did not work. Faulty hardware really sucks. In those 24 hours, I stayed up untill 4 AM trying to learn Tensorflow, slept in a CS lab I was not technically allowed in and made some amazing new friends. I can't wait to go again next year and maybe try a project with a smaller scope (if they'll have me back).
