Summary:

"This year’s Open Data Challenge at 1313 Innovation featured a major new incentive: $17,500 in grant money from the Delaware Department of State.

The winning team, Community Coders, was awarded $12,500 ($5,000 went to the runners up) on June 4, the final day of the hackathon. The team was made up of five coders: Mikaila Akeredolu, Kyle McLaughlin, Molly Arant, Vidya Chandrasekhar and Jennifer McGinty.

Since many coders enter by themselves, the group connected during the open floor on the first day of the hackathon. Each of the nine teams had a choice of two coding challenges utilizing public data — one for Network Delaware and one for The Food Bank of Delaware.

The theme for the challenge was 'Access to Hope Through Innovation.'"
