What I did at Qiskit Hackathon Korea 2022

There are 10 things I did at this Qiskit Hackathon Korea 2022.

This hackathon was held online with Veertly and ran from February 7th to February 10th. Official site is here: https://qiskithackkorea.creatorlink.net/. I joined as an organizer, a speaker, and a mentor so I need preparing for the hackathon.

Before the hackathon

1. Event promotion page: I built a promotion page with six quantum computing clubs in South Korea. I designed the whole frame of this page using Webflow and drew hackathon cartoons with my character. You can check the page here: qiskit-hackathon-korea.webflow.io.
2. Youtube #shorts: I made a Youtube shorts video. This is also for the promotion: What Can I Do with Quantum Computing?. There are several projects using Qiskit.
3. Ryoko bot with IBM Watson Assistant: Ryoko bot was appeared once in 2020 with Quantum Challenge and thankfully, she joined this hackathon too for giving challenge hints so I worked as an interpreter for her. It was my first time to use this service and make a chatbot with IBM Watson Assistant.
4. Networking questions: I collected some ice breaking questions and created a streamlit page to print one of them randomly. The codes are on my github: tula3and/random-question-generator.
5. QiskitBlocks event: Thanks to Dongsin, multiplay servers were ready for networking event. I made a poster to introduce the event with the image I drew. (I really love the main color of Qiskit!)

During the hackathon

1. How to contribute to Qiskit: I had a presentation on making real contributions with Github at the first day of the hackathon. The presentation is on my Youtube channel: Qiskit에 기여하기 실전 편.
2. Project pitch: I want to make QPong online and opened the issue, but it did not work well. (Members were not enough…) I will try to make it online in this year.
3. Mentors of quantum-meets-hangul: I joined one project as a mentor and it was related to QML.
4. Community Choice Award: The project got the award! Congratulation! 🎉
5. Kudoboard: Thank you for the supports from participants, speakers, mentors and organizers! Many people wrote letters and showed their appreciation through this thank-you-board website. I wrote several thank-you notes there, but I want to leave one more for Sophy again because this was actually her idea. I really enjoyed this Kudoboard, wrapping up the end of the hackathon. Thank you!
