Rails_Competencies

We participated in our first ever hackathon.  My team built an social based application(TalentCrops) which was way more complex than anything we could realistically build in a weekend.  We didn’t know what we didn’t know so we forged ahead.  Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I think one of things I have enjoyed the most so far in my experience is being a part of the community at MakerSquare. On Friday’s we dress up instead of dressing down and wear tie’s to the “office.”

I am very excited that we will have the opportunity to partner with some local non-profits for our final projects.
