Hack-away began bright and early! It was a day of food, and hacking, and more food, and more hacking. We had fantastic mentors and facilitators who went round to provide guidance to the teams, and gave them tips on how to inject more fun into their solutions. The day ended off with a sumptuous BBQ dinner *slurps*

Our partners and sponsors took the stage to share more about challenge statements, tools and data sets with the participants, who also had the golden opportunity to interact with some NOC alumni start-ups and sponsors for a better understanding of actual market situations. It was a fun night with bento dinner, free t-shirts and an interesting team formation event for those who joined without a team.

It was an awesome 3 days at ! We will be posting (& sharing) videos and photos taken during the event in this space, so watch out for them and tag your friends if you see them!
