The result of 36 hours of development

In addition, during the day we provided a tour of the buildings of the ICT organization of the Tax and Customs Administration, meeting inspiring employees, plenty of delicious food, breaks and an evening of fun on a sleeping farm without wifi. Just to keep it fun and give them a certain experience!
I was really very pleasantly surprised about the result. I know that young people are capable of a brother cell phone list lot, but I did not expect that there would be working mockups of apps in front of us. They worked very focused for 2 days, you saw at least 7 young people from the performance generation . So code was written independently, including a design.
And the winners are: @ PSchreuder @ jessesar Nicely developed app, mainly focused on clarifying tax refunds #36hours

What was striking in all three presentations was that the apps are very simple. Little fuss, sleek design, simple questions with explanations and to go through in a short time. All three teams had thought about a social media campaign to spread the app. The Tax and Customs Administration and the young people are so enthusiastic that a next challenge is being organized.
