Organizing My First Hacktoberfest Hack Day in Lahore ft. COLABS x RANCHERS

I wanted to host a hackathon, so I applied to run an official MLH Hack Day, and got selected. This is the full story of organizing my first onsite hackathon in Lahore: the venue problems, finding a food partner, choosing 50 builders from 108 applicants, event day, the winners, and the swag that got stuck in customs. The three challenges: • Best Use of Gemma 4 • Best Open-Source AI Project • Best Build for Food & Workspaces See all the submissions: https://www.mlh.com/events/hacktoberf...
