[Next, participants would get a chance to meet each other over a catered lunch, which would take place at long tables, and every 3 people there would be a video chat monitor positioned across the table so Tanzanian participants could easily mingle with US participants. After choosing groups (2-5 people), next we would break up into those groups in the computer lab and start coding our respective ideas. Groups would collaborate remote pair programming via EagerPanda.com's custom platform (developed by a friend and participant), or by Google Hangout, or by c9.io if there are technical difficulties. Mentors -- skilled programmers volunteering to help run the hackathon -- would be available to answer people's questions and guide them along. At the end of the evening, everybody would submit projects to the online database hackerleague.org](https://www.hackerleague.org/) for the world to see, push their code to github. and demo what they have built. The "winner" (of eternal bragging rights) will be determined by how loud the audience on both sides cheers after the demo!
