ECCE Annual App Challenge

The ECCE Annual App Challenge is a coding competition held by Esri Canada to help promote innovation and creativity within the Centres of Excellence. Each year, teams of students at ECCE schools across Canada are tasked to create new and unique apps powered by Esri technology and open data to help address a problem related to a specific theme.

Three external judges volunteered to evaluate all of the teams submitted apps, documentation, and videos. Aggregated results were used to rank the teams submissions, and select the winners with the best overall scores. 

This is a great opportunity to to gain more GIS skills and teamwork experience.  For more information please contact Kathy Tang, ktang28@uwo.ca
