This weekend was Hack K-State 2018. Hack K-State is an annual hackathon hosted at Kansas State University. In 2017, I had the opportunity to be an organizer of the event rather than a participant. Returning this year to participate was a great experience. I worked with Meagan Brucker on a project where we created physical drawings on an Etch-a-Sketch using an Arduino Uno and stepper motors. We won the award for “Best Hardware Hack” as well as placing among the top 10 teams overall.
