The best thing about the Boston Innovation Challenge was how it brought out and pulled together such a range of people and supporting organizations (see below) - Startup entrepreneurs working with Corporate techs... newbies adding value to geeks ... the Red Cross rallying the coders... etc. Business was fostered and friends were made across campus, across the river, and across industry ecosystems. Go Boston. Go BIC!
The other best thing about BIC is that I get to spend time with the best team I have ever worked with - the folks at the Boston Globe are great at what they do and great to hang out with... I appreciate all of them for making BIC work... particularly Jeff, Chris, Miranda, Vanessa, Erin, and Scott, kevin, Matt, Garret, and John. Thank you.
There were lots of winners... but 4 won cool stuff...
Best of BIC - 1st Place
- Intrepid - Mark Kasdorf, Matt Briggs, and Team
A music discovery app that allows people looking for local artists to actually discover both the artist, and where they are playing next.
2nd Place - Tie between two teams working on Red Cross
- Red Alert - John Rice and Team
A weather app that lerts people of dangerous weather and links them directly to a preparedness checklist with links to Red Cross information, training materials and Red Cross shelter locations.
- Red Cross Facebook App - Geordie Kaytes and Team
For the Red Cross to promote disaster preparedness with a fun and engaging way for people to build and share the contents of their “go-bag”, or portable evacuation kit.
3rd Place
- Culture Near Me - Tom Morris and Chris Marstall
Using the Boston Globe API & a database of public art locations to create a mobile app that will tell you what culture is around you in Boston.

"It's great to be chosen the Best of BIC. I really enjoyed having two weeks to work on our app. It allowed us to focus on small UX touches and polish, which would have been overlooked with a shorter timescale. It also allowed us to collaborate with some team members who weren't available for the first weekend. I'd definitely be interested in more "extended" hackathons."

As a member of the music scene in Boston I challenged the participants of the Boston Innovation Challenge to create a mobile application that could promote independent concerts. I was amazed to see my simple and vague presentation lead to the creation of a beautiful mobile app that uses one's location to see all of the shows happening tonight. By combining the data of Jambase and Spotify, music fans can preview music before deciding where to go. The designers and developers of all the Teams displayed exceptional professionalism and commitment to community problem solving.
The power of collaboration was apparent at BIC and I was thrilled to be a part of this intensely creative event.
