The Messy Middle How to get unstuck and start moving again
About this session
The hardest part of a hackathon isn’t starting. It’s
the messy middle when the excitement drops, the scope expands, and progress stalls. This session is about getting unstuck with a practical, builder-friendly approach: narrowing your focus, identifying the smallest lovable version of your idea, and creating
momentum again. If you’re feeling lost mid-build, this will give you a clear way forward.
A short bio: Gurpreet Kalra is a Lovable builder, hackathoner, and problem-solver who helps others move from confusion to momentum. She brings structure to messy build journeys by combining product thinking, hands-on experimentation with AI tools, and
practical scoping methods. She believes the best way to learn is by building in public and helping others ship alongside her.
