Lehigh Valley Hacked: Tech Group’s Inaugural Event Unifies

on






The inaugural Lehigh Valley Hack, which took place at Ben Franklin Tech ventures in Bethlehem last weekend, encouraged attendees to pitch ideas and create teams to develop unique solutions to local and global issues. It began with an ice-breaker round of rock, paper, scissors.

That's also how things ended on Sunday, to break a tie for the coveted Crowd Favorite designation, and when the last fingers were thrown, Locus came away victorious with the title and $200 in Amazon gift cards for its text platform to identify local bus stops without Internet connection. However, Austic Touch earned top honors overall for its demo app that facilitates communication between parents and autistic children.
