Ok so Bolsita kicks off today. You all have one calendar month to build something special. You can work on this in any down time or outside of hours if you so wish. At the end of the month we'll have a show & tell and the best application of technology wins a prize! We will also look in to submitting apps to any relevant award/challenges (such as Google Android challenge etc).
The purpose of this exercise is to help you all gather extra feathers to your learning bow & ultimately make us a stronger team.
The event will be repeated every month.
