Basically this is my second Hackathon. I joined Robelt Hackathon during study last year.
Hosted by the NZ Transport Agency, hackathons are 48-hour events where people with diverse skills, interests and perspectives come together to solve problems in the transport industry.
Participants usually form groups of around six to eight individuals, identify problems and generate solutions to a fleshed out concept, mock-up or prototyping stage.
Hackathons are all about creative problem solving with a customer-centric approach, using NZ Transport Agency data. You don’t have to be a ‘hacker’, a programmer or a tech-lover to take part – all skill-sets are valuable!
