◆ My Journey at the XRAI Hackathon

The XRAI Hackathon took place in Cologne from August 17th to 19th. I participated as a volunteer in the organizing team, mainly supporting catering service. This experience gave me the chance to closely follow the process of running a hackathon and to interact with other participants.
Right after the hackathon, Gamescom began, one of the largest and most renowned events in the global gaming and entertainment industry.
Following these two experiences, I decided to document my observations and reflections. This led to the creation of several complementary pieces:

• a retelling of an old proposal about an Augmented Reality platform,

• an article titled Designing for the Paradox,

• a revived conversation on Ethics in Digital Design,

• and a detailed report on the Hackathon itself.

All of these texts will be published on my website and also shared on Mastodon.
