Thanks to Drake Yang, VP of Engineering of RingCentral China for using AI to create a theme song to cheer on every contestant.

They have rich industry experience and keen insights, and worked with 11 domestic professional judges to evaluate the participating projects. Vlad Vendrow, CTO of RingCentral, was also invited to Xiamen to attend the competition. The valuable advice and guidance he provided to the players during the competition also gave the competition a more international perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Diverse teams, unlimited innovation ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We encourage and welcome non-developers to participate in the competition.

Captain Charles Zhang thanked his teammates, \u201ceveryone did their professional work well and the division of labor was clear. The reason for winning the championship this time largely came from teamwork. Everyone contributed their own area of expertise.\u201d When talking about whether to participate next year, he also shared that he actually prepared 10 projects when he was screening ideas at the beginning of the competition, and finally chose the project that was closest to the current actual scenario to conquer. Those alternative projects will not become obsolete, so he believes they will be useful again. We may even see these ideas at next year&#8217;s Hackathon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also invited Vlad to share his feelings about this Hackathon. When talking about the growth of Hackathon for contestants\u2019 careers, Vlad shared with us, \u201cHackathon is an opportunity for you to prove that you are indeed capable, not just to propose ideas. It\u2019s about actually organizing people with the same ideas as you to build a team with you. It\u2019s like creating a mini start-up company in a few weeks, which requires you to mobilize and coordinate many places and exercise your abilities in all aspects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56277\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-09-at-01.36.21.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2722\" height=\"1534\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Everyone engaging, sharing the victory<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the finals, we held a &#8220;championship guessing&#8221; activity for all employees.

He said in the interview, &#8220;I am very happy to join the jury, and even more happier that I don&#8217;t have to stay up until midnight like the American jury.
