The day started off with the 1st checkpoint. The first task of the teams was to sit down with their team and map what and how they are going to build their prototype. As the day was evolving the projects got better and better, making the mentors excited for the final presentations on Sunday evening, as most of the active mentors are also jury members. The projects are being built for the world to solve a certain problem, but additionally, there is a small competition going between the teams - who is building the best prototype at the end?
Today we also had a presentation by the Co-founder at Greenhouse CI Triin Kask, who gave a presentation on the topic "How to survive as a team after the hackathon is over?". Triin Kask shared her own experiences regarding team work and continuing with her team in a complicated start-up life cycle. At the hackathon there are people with various personal missions - some want to just challenge themselves, some want to meet new people, some want to make a start-up out of the project etc. It is okay to be motivated by different things, but after the hackathon the team members should be open and frank about if they want to continue or not with the project.
But now let's see what the teams are actually building at Garage48 Open & Big Data 2016 hackathon. Here is the overview of the projects:
