GEEK WEEK : LOCAL

Geek Week: Local is a week-long hackathon of creating hacks, solving problems, and building profiles both big and small. Choose between daily and week-long challenges that vary in difficulty, so whether this is your first time coding or you’re a seasoned expert, Geek Week has something for you. The more challenges you conquer, the more points you’ll earn and make your position on the leader-board.
Geek Week: Local taking place from 14/03/21 to 21/03/21.
During this time, you can expect challenges for all skill levels. These challenges can be completed on your own time, and new ones will be released each day on our website! Once the daily challenges are announced, you’ll have 24 hours to complete and submit them in order to earn those points on the leader-board.
If the daily challenges aren’t quite your speed, there will also be plenty of week-long challenges you can complete at any time. These will range from quick technical challenges to tasks you can complete with your guild-mates (guild=team), both beginner-friendly and technically advanced so there is something for everyone.
WHAT WE LEARNED ?
Power of Patience
During coding, we got many obstacles. One of the major obstacles is the error in the code. But after we practiced writing enough codes and learned to find out the errors, we developed a quality of patience to calm our minds and think sensibly because this is a critical factor in finding the fault.
Power of Perspective
Coding or solving questions helps us understand the world from a different perspective. While solving coding questions, many problems require a different perspective. With practice, you gain experience, and with experience, you gain perspective; it’s as simple as that.
Power of Logical Thinking
Coding helps strengthen your thinking capability as many difficult questions need healthy thinking to crack it. We also need logical thinking. Before solving a problem, we have to identify the logic used to solve the question and find out the different logical ways, and coding helps us put our brain in that situation.
