January’s Community Hackathon brought together over 25 developers and creatives to create a mentor platform for our local community over a 72 hour coding blitz. People from all over central Illinois came and learned cutting edge technology ranging from high schoolers to coding vets. The platform is near completion and the startup community is planning another hackathon for the weekend of May 13th to continue its development. Play the video above to get a sneak peek of the web app. Register for the next community hackathon here: http://bncommunityhackathon.eventbrite.com
