The constitution of each team :

One Mentor

From the beginning until the end of the weekend, each team is assigned a mentor. A Mentor is a person you can count on when you have doubts and questions. He is here to help you solve problems you might encouter and move towards the right direction. He will be equipped with one pair of Google Glass and will provide you full access to it

Android Developer(s)

Coding an app on Google Glass needs its Rockstar Dev : the team needs a fast learner with solid skills on Android. He knows his way around Android SDK, already checked the Glass Developement Kit (GDK) quick start guide allowing him to jump start developing an app for Glass.

Web Developer(s)

A good app needs a good website, that’s why the team needs a good web developer able to build a well designed website dedicated to make the app stand out. As the website is where the conversion occurs the web developer got a crucial role. Turning visitors into users is no easy task : the look and feel should carry the projects’s vision, explain the features inside the app and convert. Finally the web developer(s) can use the Mirror API for a Glass Application.

Designer(s)

The Designer has the hard task to build the visual identity from the ground up, he has strong UX knowledge and a deep understanding of the new rules set by the Glass. His design skills give him the credibility to decide the most effective UI and the most compelling Glass experience.

Marketer/Community Manager(s)

On one hand, the Marketing guy of the team should have strong analytical skills, he is able to understand the needs of its users and build effective strategy to reach its target audience.
On the other hand, he knows his way around digital, leveraging social media by any means necessary : using lolcats to make its user base grow while avoiding to feed the trolls…
Usually, he is the Master of Ceremony, the captain, the quaterback, leading the team with one goal in mind : relase the app in less than 36 hours.
