Final Review and Mentorship
After breakfast, mentors walked around the room, stopping at each table to check on the teams. They listened to project updates, answered questions, and gave helpful feedback. Some mentors suggested new ideas, while others helped teams solve tricky problems or improve their presentations. Teams worked closely together, checking their code for errors, practicing their demos, and making sure their solutions were clear and easy to understand. This was the last chance to make improvements, and everyone wanted their project to stand out. The support from mentors made a big difference, helping teams feel more confident and ready for the final push.
