The purpose of this project is to implement a similar concept to the Google 20/80 Policy and use this policy to develop, foster, and maintain homegrown coding talent. The Google 20/80 Policy encourages employees to spend 80% of their time on core projects and 20% of their time on innovation activities that pique their own personal interests. This policy will allow BrevisRefero employees to spend 20% of their time working alongside Humber College faculty and students and contribute to BrickMMO. BrickMMO is a Smart City Development Platform built with LEGO™ bricks.
