 What if you had 48 hours to code up to $10,000 to win and zero coding experience? Now this is the world's largest collegiate hackathon. Hackathons are sort of like marathons for coders, and every year, cautions from around the country lock in here and spend 48 hours coding what could be the next big thing. Now Kyle Hacks says that everyone, no matter their major, can attempt a hackathon. And this is what we've decided to test. Now this is us. Almost none of us have ever touched code before, except for these two, they're going to be helping us out. And here's our mission. One, we're going to register as a team, two, we want to deliver and present a finished project that we've all worked on, and three, spend all 48 hours of the hackathon. So today we're going to answer the question, can non-coders survive a hackathon? It is 7pm and Saturday I'll code to the theme of the hackathon. Yeah. We're doing some really important work. Currently we're working on Canva, which is a really easy thing that we know how to use. We're going to convert this to HTML, and then these two are working on the decor and stuff, a little nervous that we're not going to do well. Go ahead. Are you just feeling that? Yeah. I have a contingency plan. Oh. Okay. This is what we have so far, guys. I dug it too excited. It's not really done yet, but yeah. Recap, Clip Search is our project idea where it's automatic editing based on local transcription data, and it's converting daunting footage into digestible content. So, we're locating spoken keywords and uploaded footage to produce clips that feature the selected phrase, which will hopefully be one of the best editing assistants that you could ever have. This is a pretty decent demo. It's going to take a second, but after Finch is processing it should give us a transcript of what's being said. Okay. No way. No way. Next step is just to get our editing done, so use the timestamps of these words to help edit our videos, okay? Next step. What are you, I guess, working on today for your project? So, my girlfriend is also here at Calhacks. She's over there. Somewhere over there. Somewhere there. So, I really like my girlfriend, and my idea is that I'm going to make a focus app. Like, it helps me focus. Yeah. So, what it does, it'll use the webcam to track my eyes, and when I'm looking at my screen as a reward, it'll flash a picture of my girlfriend every minute. And it'll kind of, like, condition me into keeping my eyes on the screen instead of, like, looking at my phone or... It'll, like, screen you. Yeah. It's like a dopamine system. Yeah, pretty much. We want to build, like, a 3D, like, a VR scribble notes. And as you can see, we're, like, getting a lot of code done right now. Mian Seon are making movie for pets. Like the animal? I don't know. I guess you, like, find out at the presentation. Yeah. Oh, shit. Y'all keeping it sneak. Wow. Do you think you're gonna, what, do you think you're gonna win? I mean, if we actually implement it, yeah. How's your guys' idea going? We just grabbed it. We just grabbed it and we're... What are you doing here? You're just continuing? We gave up, like, two hours ago, so it's too late to go home. Okay, it is, um, oh my god, it is 10.17 p.m. How are we feeling? We're feeling like it's Rockstar time. Oh, no sponsorship to Rockstar, but we're hopping on this tonight, so yeah. We're here for the full hacker experience, so that definitely means staying until 2 a.m. and with all the energy drinks possible. Oh yeah. See you later. It's thinking, folks. There it is. And here's our response. We posted this Get Speech, which gives us a speech, as well as each word and its confidence level for when it was spoken during the video. This is huge for us, folks. Next up is Addie. She's going to be helping on the UI, so pretty much all the backend logic is ready to go. Now it's up to you, Addie. She's going to figure out a lot of the front-end stuff for you guys, the users. Anyway, I'm feeling highly caffeinated and somehow still incredibly tired, and I'm feeling the beaten-down part they say happens to be part of the event. The night is very young, though. We have a long night ahead of us, so it's just a start of things. Apparently, the night is very young. Okay, so it is 1 a.m. of the day, and we're going to put four around to see what's happening. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are asleep. There's just fire rooms. We keep drinking the free Yerba that they're giving us, so I'm really dedicated to the whole caffeinated craze thing. But yeah, I don't know. 1 a.m., hackathon, county beat, world's largest collegiate hackathon. And we're having a blast. On stage at the farms. I definitely feel like I'm learning a lot. I don't necessarily... I'm not going to say I'm going to be a coder by the end of this, but I definitely think I'll have a better understanding of at least the CS community. I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. Go, go, go, go, go. Parker, where? Wait, Parker, are they in here? Wait, why do you want to play here? Do you think, because we're here for the full hackathon experience, do you think sleeping over is an essential part of that? Staying up all night is definitely like a requirement. Not even sleeping! Yeah, no, no, no. I did my pre-hackathon right when COVID hit, and it was more of like, oh, I have nothing better to do. I might as well meet some people and try to do something. And then I made some of my closest friends in red, so I definitely continued doing it because of that. We are still codering. That's our most beautiful. Okay, what do you guys think about my bed setup? Good? Yeah? I think it's good. Good? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can see optimal how-hacks experience. I'm going to try and get some sleep, so we'll see. In the meantime, I think people are just going to keep working. Oh, yeah. Currently, um... trying to sleep, but... um... currently 7 a.m. It's not done, but... it's been a few hours of sleep. It's been a few hours of sleep. A lot of people don't know the two nights are out, though. It's still very bright. It's sunny. We haven't done shit before. Yeah, it's been like four hours since I saw you guys last. Any updates? We've learned a lot about ourselves from each other. Talked about, like, our projects, you know, our visions. Um, four, five hours left. I'm on three hours of sleep. How many are you on? Oh, my God. It is 7.33 a.m. Parker's just woken up. We're ready to go already. This is many things. He is not one of them. I can't do this. I can't do this. I'm not even doing anything, and I can't do this. Parker, you have to be able to do it. We have a website. Okay, so I've made this in Canva. My contribution, you know, I've given up on the fact that I'm actually going to code any of this, but I've learned a lot. No, you had one line of code. I had one line of code. Yes. It's not going to make it into the final project. The problem with this, like, group dynamic that we have is how do you think I know them? These guys are the coders, right? So we're kind of left with the design aspect, but they're also better at coding the design aspect. So there's nothing that we can do that's actually better than them. My plan is when he's done coding, I'm going to ask him to also code the website. That's the plan. And I'll do what I can. We still have to finish our pitch deck, finish our landing page, and finish our actual code that is at the sac-a-pod. I mean, obviously we're making decent progress, but it's definitely not going to be finished. We'll have something done. We'll have something. We'll have something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And honestly, they probably didn't expect this from us, to be honest. So we're feeling decent. I wish they had the counter, okay? Akeel. Good. How are we feeling? Good? Yes? Okay. It is officially 205pm, which means that we are done with hacking. How do you guys feel? We are. A blessing. Let's kill this pitch. Hopefully we don't crack under the pressure. If we do, they forgive us. We're confident with our idea. I believe in you guys. We got this. Apparently. Editing is one of the most time-consuming processes, and it's really frustrating. It's really my least favorite stage of the production process. Some of the videos we make, like a 10-minute one, could be on average 45 minutes of content that we film. To do a lot of times is transcribe our interviews. Yep. It's a great idea. So anyway, very cool job. I'm having a lot of fun. It's very fun to be able to pitch silly ideas that you made. Not hey. Silly. Hey, hey, hey. Silly. Being humble as fuck, this is like a million-dollar idea. This is actually amazing. One of the best things I've seen is the sack of black. We didn't pay this guy. Yeah, we're for that kid. Run. Run me my money. Why do you think that everyone should do a hackathon? Or should everyone do a hackathon? I think that the reason hackathons are the best way to learn how to code is when you enter a class, it's really stressful. You know, when you're doing like 6-1-A. So much of the fear is just like, oh, I got to do well in these midterms. I got to do well in these projects. To the point where it's not fun to learn. When you come to a hackathon, it's a really low-stress environment. Admittedly, a lot of the projects here are probably going to fail. But the fact is you're pushing yourself to learn because there are no risks. If you mess up on something, no one's going to want to shoot for it. So this really encourages you to push out of your comfort zone. It was really hard. It's not a joke. I'll say it that way. I'm really proud. I think we did good. I'm proud of us because we did not get pushed around out there. We had a good idea. It's something that we made for ourselves. So that's already respectable. So we got to walk away feeling pretty decent about ourselves. Proud of the team. Proud of the team today. We're about to take a fat nap. Oh, I think anyone can enter Calhacks without everyone can survive it.
