Makerthon is a two day event taking place in week 9 of the course. It resembles a hackathon, but has one exception - all code is properly tested and well crafted. The event kicked off with project pitches, voting, and team selection.
##Pllr - Your Real-time Engagement Tool Our project is Pllr, /ˈpəʊlə/, a real time voting system that records up votes and down votes, and draws a graph based on the results.
