On a Friday evening, I went straight to the Chaifetz Arena to meet my teammate for Global Hack 7. We met briefly and attended the opening ceremony. This year subject was foreign-born. We got to work right after.
Our project calls mPortal. mPortal is a centralized place where non-profit organizations can connect with immigrants based on their needs in real-time, and track the progress of how many immigrants are in the pipeline. We built the web app with nodejs, react, and Mongodb.
Our team went to the second round but didn’t win any prizes. It was a great experience and I’ve learned a lot about agile, communication, and project management. I’m looking forward to my next hackathon.
