The top 15 apps from CODE 2015 have been announced! Do you know who made the best use of Canada’s open data for the contest?
More than 1,300 participants, representing over 300 teams from across the country, built 125 apps, drawing inspiration from 3 development themes: Healthy Living,Business Opportunities, and Youth Employment.
It was Canada’s biggest appathon ever.
Over the last week, XMG Studio, the private sector host of CODE 2015, screened the long list of apps submitted by participants to a short list of the most promising top 15 apps. The criteria included user experience, potential of the app, and use of open data.
The top 15 teams will pitch their apps to a panel of judges on March 16. The judges will determine the winners of the $15,000 grand prize, the $5,000 student prize, and a $5,000 prize for each of the development themes.
