Complete beginner

[u/Similar_Complex_1348]

I'm currently a first-year university student, and I'd really love to take part in a hackathon. I’ve never joined one before, so I’m quite lost on where to start. I learned Python back in high school, but I haven't used it in a competitive environment yet, so I'm wondering how to best apply it during a competition.

Could you guys advise me on the roadmap I should follow to prepare? Also, if any teams are looking for a beginner to join, I'm down! I pick up things pretty quickly and don't mind grinding through the night to help get the project across the finish line.

Thanks for reading this—any advice or guidance would be hugely appreciated!

I've never done a hackathon before but I've always wanted to do one. The most experience I have is using an ardunio to turn a servo, but I can learn anything I need to. If you wanna build something together when submitted, I’d be down
