On March 4th, we held our second internal hackathon this year during our dedicated Learning Friday, 1st Friday of each Month. This time is set aside by leadership to assure everyone has the time the need to continue their learning path.
For the last two Learning Fridays, we have held one day hackathons to bring our Modern Work teams together to learn together, ideate on potential customer solutions and to get hands-on experience with Teams Platform development and the low code Power Platform including Power Apps, Power Apps Portal, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, Power BI and Dataverse.
If you are considering running a hackathon within your organization, check out the Hackathon Starter Kit that we have been working on to help get you started. You can also reach out to your Microsoft contact for guidance on running your own internal hackathon on Microsoft Teams.
