HACKATHON Workshop to Internship to Employment for T-Level Students

Institute's Flowmondo hosted it's first Hackathon at Loughborough College, engaging T-level students with some real-world problem solving. Flowmondo's team explained basic principles of low code systems and introduced the students to some easy-to-use tools. The students were broken into teams and went through to complete a sample project surprisingly easily. At lunch time and in the spirit of coding culture, a huge stack of pizza was devoured. In the afternoon, the student teams pitched their own projects based on the mornings discoveries. At the end, the teams showed off their work and prizes were given out for the most ambitious and promising results.

The Hackathon was a day to show the students some examples of real-world code applications and working practices.

Promising students were offered internships at Institute and have gone on to full employment with Flowmondo. Institute continues to engage with local college and universities as we seek to support students in the transition from education to industry.
