Update: the official photos, videos, and submitted projects are now available on the Intern Hackday site.
In my previous post, I showed you the sights and sounds from day 1 of the LinkedIn Intern Hackday. This post will do the same for day 2, Saturday July 30. The Intern Hackday was an overnight affair and just about all the interns worked straight through the night to get their hacks done by noon. 45 projects were submitted, featuring a wide range of ideas, platforms and technologies. We saw games, music apps, UI frameworks, augmented reality, AI, location apps, IDE extensions, p2p file sharing, and even a 20 page report.
The pictures below are, as usual, mostly from iPhones. Keep your eyes on the Intern Hackday site for the official event photos, videos and project submissions soon!
