About the challenge

We are providing an opportunity for participants to collaborate with each other to design and build a creative function product and have a friendly competition that lasts 36 hours starting Friday, March 3rd and ending Sunday, March 5th. At the end of these 36 hours, participants pitch their project and launch their ideas to an audience of peers and company representatives. We are also planning on scheduling various team-building activities, networking sessions, and tech talks with a focus on promoting diversity in technology.
