    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The day began with a brief presentation of Amazon, followed by an overview of the hackathon. It was a little less than an hour long. After that, we had a one and a half-hour hackathon consisting of six coding questions. We concluded with Q&A and insight into what will happen next.

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
