CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HACC 2019 WINNERS!

A University of Hawaii team, called Gary’s Best, took home the $4,000 top prize at the Hawaii Annual Code Challenge (HACC) over the weekend. The team came up with an innovative solution for a challenge sponsored by the State Office of Energy and Hawaiian Electric Company. The challenge was for the creation of dashboard displaying the health of an electric vehicle charging station using key metrics developed from charging data analysis.

“I’m proud that Hawaii is home to a very talented group of IT developers as demonstrated at the HACC. They created imaginative solutions to some of our state’s pressing challenges. Congratulations to the winners, and mahalo to all who participated,” said Gov. David Ige.
