Hackathon The 10 week bootcamp ended with a bang. Or more precisely an intense 3 day hackathon.
It began on Wednesday morning with pitches of some problems in their local community. The students then self formed into 2 teams of roughly 8 students, picked a challenge each and got coding. The task was to come up with an idea to solve the problem, create a prototype then present and demo their prototype in front of a panel of judges.

We were having problems with our venue. Then in stepped Pastor John. He was one of a few local dignitaries we invited to see the teaching at the start of the course. He was so impressed that upon hearing we were having venue problems he told us 4 words: “I’ll sort it out” (5 words if you want to be pedantic).
