Tech to Protect Challenge: September Winners

13 Teams Recognized at Nationwide Regional Codeathons held Sept. 27 - 29, 2019

Congratulations to the September Tech to Protect Challenge winners who were recognized for their innovative technologies developed at the regional codeathons held September 27-29. Participants attended events in Washington D.C.; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; and College Station, TX, to connect, collaborate, and create for emergency responder communications.

Teams spent three days coding to solve public safety challenges from a diverse set of 10 contest technical areas. Local public safety officials and leading technology companies served as resources, judges, and reviewers to help participants develop solutions to address the current needs of firefighters, EMS, and law-enforcement - all with the goal to improve the safety of communities nationwide.
