Projectify is a super cool slay girlboss app that was born at a hackathon we randomly decided to participate in (we <3 WIE). "What is Projectify?" you ask? Well, Projectify is a mobile app (work in progress #manifesting) that connects high school girls looking to work on side projects with others. Through the app they can find side project inspiration, share their GRAND project ideas, meet people to work with on the projects, and earn accomplishments badges to build their professional portfolio.
We had like 4 hours (yikes!) to come up with this all, so it was pretty messy you might imagine. BUT! We won second place in the hackathon (woot woot #women #in #stem)!! And, that motivated us to really try to develop this (syde) project(ify ;). This is a first for a lot of us, so enjoy this archive of our blood, sweat, and tears + all the lessons we learn along the way!
