Last June, we hosted our biggest biggest hackathon at WHOOP yet, and our first one focused on using AI. The event was open to the entire company: product managers, designers, operations, scientists, engineers, marketing, and more. The results were beyond what I could have imagined.
Last November 2020, our Software, Product, and Data Science teams had a Hack Day (aka hackathon) with amazing results. This event was not easy to pull off especially with everyone working from home. In this post, we will go over the planning, setup, execution, and results to provide a glimpse into how our culture of creativity and collaboration led to blowing away all our expectations.
