## Introducing The Hackateers
|
|
|
|
We are a group of three hackers hailing from [Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar](http://qatar.cmu.edu).
|
|
Two of us are graduates and one is currently a student.
|
|
Our members have previously participated in hackathons and even helped organize, mentor, or judge a hackathon or two.
|
|
We decided to join this hackathon to combine the different skills and experiences we gathered throughout the different paths we have embarked on to hack on something of great.

## What are we doing?
|
|
Our idea is not solid yet but we will be writing a web app using Python for our back-end and HTML, JS, and CSS for our front-end.
|
|
We will be possibly utilizing NLP technologies and APIs such as NLTK, wit.ai, or IBM Watson.
