Around 30 people participated on teams, 8 staff managed the day-to-day operations as well as fulfilling mentor and moderator duties to the teams. One individual outside the organization acted as a mentor to several of the teams and made significant contributions of resources and advice.

Eight teams presented at the closing meeting on the 21st. The teams voted for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Though this was a “bragging rights only” competition, ribbons were sent to the winners:

1st place: Team AR Lab
2nd place: Team Recovery Forum (also called Project Rome)
3rd place: Team Disjoin Supermarket

Date: June 12-June 21, 2020
Start time: 5:00pm PDT on June 12
