Windy City Crimes App
Lake View, Lane, Whitney Young, and Von Steuben were some of the 10 schools that competed on Saturday Dec 12th for 6 six hours at the Chicago Police hackathon hosted at 1871. Lake View enlisted 3 teams and was the only school with apps
that actually worked and were prototyped versus concepts. One of LVHS' team, Windy City Crimes App, had multiple features and took first place, beating out Lane and Whitney Young in the finalist round. My team collectively created a working
prototype smartphone application that interfaces with one of the Chicago Police Department's APIs. The application focused on sharing information such as crimes in your area (using GPS), crime tips, community events, wanted persons, and more.
Out of the more than 70 participants in the CPD hackathon my team took first place.
