An inspiring read - I know of so many people that got dragged to their first hackathon thanks to persistent friends, myself included!

Every single hackathon I've been to since have inspired me in one way or another - be it trying out the latest tech, the buzz from working on a hack over a short period of time, or just meeting & sharing the weekend with super awesome people!

The hacker ethos is extremely transferrable as well, it's a mindset I promote a lot when I teach Computing to my secondary school students in the UK. It's all about getting the learners to take control of their own education & be as creative as they want about it.

Proud to have MLH at the forefront of revolutionising how students learn, build and share ideas around technology. Very excited to be part of this growing global community and cannot wait to see what's to come!

If you're in the EU, I would highly recommend checking out these upcoming hackathons (drag a friend along too!): http://mlh.io/eu/
