Facebook's SoCal Camp Hackathon

May 2011

Won the Facebook's SoCal Camp Hackathon by building DrawAndSee website. We built it under 24 hours as a team of 4 to enable people to draw on a shared canvas. They are also on a group video chat so it's easier and more fun to collaborate on a drawing. We also supported text-based chatting.

Even Facebook engineers said they thought the application would be impossible to create in 24 hours. Competitors were mostly from Caltech, USC and UCLA.

DrawAndSee website:

"The winning team, Funny Bone, which includes UCLA computer science students Song Zheng, Rajiv Makhijani, Seckin Can Sahin and Allen Wu, built an application called “Draw and See.” The app is a collaborative tool that lets multiple users draw on a shared canvas in real time while video and text chatting with each other." - Daily Bruin
