This weekend, second-year student, Michael Yap, participated in the NYC.gov Hackathon — hosted at General Assembly. The teams, which included designers, engineers, copywriters, photographers and product managers, sought to reimagine New York City’s web presence. Michael’s team members, himself included, were all members of IDEO and included designers and developers from Chicago, Boston and New York studios. The team won the award for “Most Innovative,” and was awarded a nifty trophy and enjoyed breakfast with Mayor Bloomberg this Wednesday. Congratulations, Michael! Read more in The Village Voice.
