Digital Jam 2.0 Hackathon Winners

JAMAICA’S first-ever 24-hour Sports Hackathon came to a thrilling close on Saturday when Team Hybrid was announced winners for their inventive SKORA Application during the Digital Jam 2.0 Marketplace and Job Fair at the Jamaica Conference Centre.

Team Hybrid at Digital Jam 2.0 2012 including Wayne Jones, Ricardo McPherson and Oratio West.

To help prepare for the marathon event which tested their stamina, speed and execution, they underwent serious training through four sets of Tech Camps held across the island — two in Kingston and one each in Mandeville and Montego Bay in May and June — that brought together experts within the developer community, sports enthusiasts, and professionals to share ideas and explore how technology can better enable the sports industry as a social development tool and provide entrepreneurial opportunities for technologically inclined youths.
