“This hackathon was about digitising the ECSA website by making it user-friendly, giving it a modern feel, applying 4IR concepts to the overall solution and creating an intuitive knowledge management system for them.
"Our solution had to cater for not so tech-savvy individuals, it had to include maintenance, support and adaptive improvement plans”, says Tumelo. The winning team received R17 000 cash and R80 000 to implement the proposed solution.
