POV Hackathon is a unique opportunity to meet and work with storytellers and technologists at the forefront of non-fiction media. Over a single weekend of intense collaboration, teams are challenged to create prototypes that “re-invent the documentary for the web” and then present those prototypes to a public audience. Check out team interviews, demo videos and 3 AM tweets from POV Hackathon 3 in the social media recap below:
