🌟 Reflecting On Our First Hackathon: Litehack at Litebox 🌟
This past weekend, we held our inaugural internal hackathon, Litehack, and the results were nothing short of transformative. Here’s a look at what happened:
- - Litehack Dynamics - -
🔹 Diverse Collaboration: Six teams, crafted to mix different roles, worked through a 24-hour sprint. It was a strategic mix to foster new synergies among team members who hadn't previously collaborated closely.
🔹 The Challenge: Teams dedicated the first two hours to defining projects under the theme of "Social Innovation" tackling areas like ecology, health, finance, inclusion, and education.
🔹 New Technologies: Participants challenged themselves by incorporating technologies they hadn't used before, expanding their skill sets under tight deadlines.

🧗♂️ Stepping Out of their Comfort Zone: People from various roles—including designers, QA, developers, and PMs—moved out of their comfort zones to pitch in front of a panel of juries.
🧑⚖️ The Jury: To take Litehack to the next level, we invited four external judges who are well-known in their fields. Thanks to Patricio Molina, Juan Melano, Luz Borchardt, and Sebastian Peña for bringing an unbiased and expert perspective to our event! Their insights and evaluations were invaluable in pushing our teams to excel.
