Team Smoke came out victorious at the 2019 edition of the Ministry of Public Telecommunications’ Hackathon, as the three days of the intense Information Technology (IT) challenge concluded last evening, at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.

The event saw five teams all creating software – that will allow citizens to easily make reports to the police, other authorities, government ministries and agencies. The App also allows persons to check their report status, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.

Leader of  Team Smoke, Rayon Hunte, said his group was not that surprised with the 2019 title since its aim was to complete the Hackathon “technically sound”.
