Max's Minute: Lessons Learned from the Bronco App-athon
Max talks about lessons learned from the first annual Bronco App-athon held March 2-4. Teams of student developers came together for a marathon coding session, building a variety of mobile apps and designing concepts of interest to the University's student population.
Lessons learned that can be applied to the Office of Information Technology include the advantages of sharing and collaborating through teamwork, the importance of having passion for the work, leveraging the concepts of agile development, and thinking big to produce great results.
