What they said
“The best entries aren't necessarily the technically brilliant applications. It is more about making something that is provides a fresh, useful way to make use of an existing service”
“It’s a great opportunity to be really imaginative and yet produce something that will have a solid local impact and helped create a network of individuals”
“The best elements for me included the competition (giving our activity an edge and excitement), the time-bound nature of the day (we had to present our work at the end of it), roles on hand to help us out and the style of facilitation (making everyone feel heard)”
