They Day 2 focused on Android developers as Ayoola Oluwatosin (Organizer) talked about Material Design and how it can be implemented on Lolipop, KitKat and pre Lolipop, he also went ahead to explain some of the design specs. Different code were shared and assistance was provided to new android developers. The session ended about 4:00 pm after which general pictures were taken and food was served afterwards. Arrangement was made for the Hackatthon of the mobile developers though not much people were willing to enter the hackatton. Due to lack of electricity and poor internet in this part of the country the deadline for submitting the apps and the prize giving was extended till Saturday (6th June, 2015). We expect to have about 3 – 5 apps submitted to playstore after the
hackathon. The event ended successfully at about 6:00 pm, we had two new members willing to join our GDG chapter and several ones willing to start
developing on Web and Mobile Platforms.

                We say thank you to Ayodele Marcus, Chukwuemeka Afigbo and  Awosupin Olalere Solomon for
contributing massively to the success of the events.
