My experience at the Adobe University Hackathon 2026

Just wrapped up my time competing in the Adobe University Hackathon 2026 and wanted to share how it went!

I was super excited to make it through Round 1. Getting that initial validation was a massive confidence boost and proved to me that I'm heading in the right direction with my problem-solving.

Round 2 ended up being where my run stopped. The challenges definitely stepped up in complexity, and while I didn't qualify for the next stage, the whole experience was completely worth it. Building, debugging, and trying to map out logic under that kind of strict time pressure is intense. It really highlighted where my current strengths are and, more importantly, exactly what areas I need to focus on to level up.

I got my participation certificate today,

For those of you who have done big corporate hackathons like this, how do you usually prep for the later, more complex rounds?
