It is a dream come true. These past 2 days have been eye-opening.
After a rigorous assessment by the panel of judges, Team Power Bit Crunchers and Team Zeena Platform emerged winners of the hackathon. They will be working together to create smart and affordable smart meters. The first runners-up are Team Magnitronics and Team Cosmo Automation, who will be going home with 2 Million Naira donated by Ms. Chantelle.
