Projects are built by teams or individuals. They represent a teams effort and grind to solve a problem based on your problem statement. In the event manager portal, you can view all projects, their descriptions, the tools they’ve selected to use in that project, their project video, a GitHub link to their code and more.
You can view projects on the free plan.
There are two ways to navigate to view projects.
