The first Innovation Camp hosted by the EBIT Faculty and organized by the Department of Informatics was a huge success. There were 32 groups enrolled for the event with 8 groups for the Codeathon and 24 groups for a Business Idea. Buzznovation and Coca Cola were the two sponsors. Buzznovation sponsored the prizes for the two competitions to a total of R60000 and Coca Cola sponsored the drinks for the 15 hour night hackathon as well as for the prize giving event. The Department of Informatics sponsored the operational costs of the function with the Informatorium providing security for the all night event.
