These are our 2 day, invitation-only hackathon-style events where 50 students are invited to work alongside industry mentors to build something cool over a weekend.Thanks to an amazing collaborative crew of sponsors, mentors & volunteers, a huge amount of learning and creating occurred in Wellington & Auckland.You can check out the photos on our Facebook page, and blog posts with team summaries will be posted here.Thanks so much to EVERYONE who's made our bootcamps possible this year!
