Summer Intern Hackathon
Last week Bump hosted the first ever intern hackathon competition. We set up workspaces and plenty of snacks in the back part of our office and let the interns get to work on whichever project they wanted to pursue. They knew they only had 24 hours to get it done, at the end of which they would present what they accomplished in front of the rest of the company. The interns made great use of that time, teaming up, brainstorming and working straight through the night. Friday afternoon a sleepy but happy group of interns demoed their projects. The outcome was awesome! It was a close competition - but only 2 could win. These are the 2 projects that ended up taking home the prizes.
FIRST PLACE - Bill Split
Ted, Ethan and Will worked together to come up with a really easy way to split a bill with friends using the Bump app. Their UI was clean and simple, the app was intuitive and a great usecase for the Bump app!
SECOND PLACE - Bump Pong
Tomer and Brian teamed up with Bernardo (Bump employee) to create bumpable program to keep track of the winners and losers of pingpong matches that take place in the office. We take this game seriously!
It was really impressive to see what these guys could create in a 24 hour window. We celebrated with tacos and happy hour when the demos were done - but most of the interns cut out early to catch up on sleep. Definitely deserved!
