WLG Hackfest - team Gramworthy

Our premium student skills development event for code & design students in the programme is Hackfest, a 2 day app-building challenge for teams of SoT2017 students. They’re supported by industry mentors, and the challenge this year was to use an API or dataset, and build something cool in a weekend, e.g. a web/mobile app or data visualisation.Here’s the profile of one of the teams from our Wellington Web Hackfest, held at Flux Federation on the 12th & 13th August 2017:Team GramworthyTeam: Emma (Designer), MJ, Junlong, Aran, Samuel (Developers); Sam (Mentor)App Name: GramworthyWhat does it do?
