The various teams design and build a new product within the time limit. At which point they turn over all ownership of the new idea to Codestone the company that runs the event. Codestone takes all the money made by each individual product and donates it to charities. The innovative ideas are a way of pushing technology forward without the greed that normally drives business today.

Code fest is run by Codestone and it’s a 32-hour coding/ tech competition where teams of 2-5 compete to win. In reality, the only winners are the charities that receive the all the money raised. Each team has 32 hours to create something new be it an app or a new device, the amazing part is that they then give all the money it makes to charity. In 2017 the 32 hour event raised over 8000 pounds.
