Technology holds the potential to dramatically improve both individual lives and society as a whole. That's why, for this year's Melbourne IT Hackathon, we chose the theme 'Empowering Communities Through Finance'.

In this episode, Kent, our resident podcaster, interviews some of our Hackathon participants about their projects and the innovative ways they're bringing their ideas to life.
