"A great course, gave good insight on how the codefest events evolved and improved with each successive event. Would have also been great to know if the teams faced any challenges collaborating at codefest and how they overcame them. If interested in setting up a hackathon, this course is a good place to start and learn how to successfully run one." - Ratidzo M.
