This isn't easy being thrown in on the spot and all of your ideas were
rooted from your understanding of the app and that's what product
evolution and iteration is all about. Great work! – Snap Inc. volunteer
"The coolest thing about this experience is when we came in we had
no idea what we were going to do. As we progressed over these two
days, we now have a solid idea that I could see in the app! – SuitUp student
