2018 F8 Hackathon Winners Announced

We were excited to bring back the Hackathon (a Facebook tradition) at this year's F8, where we brought developers and community leaders together to create solutions that help people build community and bring the world closer together. Participants were asked to build solutions that used at least one Facebook developer product, and bonus prizes were given to participants who created the best solutions for bridging online connections with offline experiences, growing a community, and driving engagement within a community.
