Who Participated?
Each website was built by a team of 4 – 8 people in the following roles; Project Manager, Designer, Developers (2), Content Manager, Social Media Manager and Quality Assurance Tester. All roles were filled with only a few no-shows due to unforeseen emergencies on the d-day.
Please Note: All teams members worked together before, during and after the event for the common good of the hackathon and the non-profits.
