A two-day hackathon company wide initiative open to anyone to contribute ideas to create apps, services, products for the business to use and help solve real problems.
Seven ideas were then voted on and chosen and seven groups formed. As one of the Digital Mentors for the program, I assisted the teams in helping shape their thinking, approaches and output for the final day's open house presentations back to a panel of judges. Everyone in the Sydney office was then invited to the rooftop whereby a marketplace style event was presented and each given a coin to delegate their chosen vote. From this, a people's choice winner and a judges winner.
The successful hackathon event was then taken to Melbourne with even better results!
An interactive group based workshop designed for multiple business units/groups across the business nationally to uncover what makes a great app. Learning some of the processes involved in creating products and what methodologies are adopted to created an app that people use.
