Regional Hackathon Win & Global Recognition | Summer 2023
Teams of up to 6 graduates - Create a full-stack application in ~6 hours to solve an internal business problem. Instead of focussing entirely on the MVP, we assigned someone to work in Figma to create a mockup of the application. We assigned another person to work on the business aspect of the application. The others were split between frontend and backend. We didn't manage to complete the application, but using Figma and our business logic, we were able to get a good idea of what the application would look like and how it would work. We also demonstrated a roadmap for the application and how we would approach the development of the application moving forward. This approach was noted by the judges and our solution was mentioned as part of the global announcement.
