Congratulations to the 2012 Startup Tucson Hackathon Winners!
The Hackathon Teams All Take the Cake!
During 24 hours of intensive partying and all around fun… all the teams at the 2012 Startup Tucson Hackathon found time to actually get work done. You can see the list of all of the projects here.
The teams were asked to make a 2 minute presentation to the judges followed by a 2 minute Q&A. The audience voted using text messaging for the “people’s choice” award and the “judges choice” award.
