Today’s the day! We are excited to announce the winners of the GitHub Copilot Challenge.
With over 175 valid submissions, this was one of our most popular challenges to-date. From audio-visual experiences to decentralized apps to web games, our participants gave it their all. There was a lot of competition, and the competition was fierce!
After much deliberation, our judges have completed the difficult task of selecting our three winners.Whether or not you win, we hope you’re proud of what you accomplished! Building an app within 24-hours is no easy task (but definitely made easier with GitHub Copilot!).
Read on to see who our winners are.
Congratulations To…
Prompt Winners
New Beginnings
@bridget_amana takes home our New Beginnings category with Focus, a minimalistic, one-task-only to-do list designed to combat cognitive overload by allowing users to focus on a single task at a time. It’s a new beginning every time you finish a task! With the help of GitHub Copilot, this project only took Bridget about three hours to build.
Fresh Starts
@jennyzzt impressed the judges with DearFamz, a mobile application that aims to help family members connect and understand each other better through simple interactions. Jenny relied on GitHub Copilot for high level guidance, auto-complete, switching models, refactoring, and more!
Transitions and Transformations
@josectoscano won the judges over with Life in Dots, a creative tool that offers a gentle yet profound reminder of our journey through life. Jose utilized GitHub Copilot for general support along with specific tasks such as migrating to a database and implementing authentication.
Our three winners will receive the following prizes:
