I have had time to review the entries to the first STEMGeek's Hackathon. There was a total of 14 entries submitted competing for a 12,623.370 HIVE prize pool.

Before I announce the winners, I want to thank everyone who contributed and turned this into a massive success. I knew I would be able to get a few donations but was hoping to have the largest prize pool ever seen on Hive or Steem, but I was blown away with the contributions. Over 12,000 Hive was donated to award this contest, which was more than $4,000 USD at the start of the contest.

Thank you

I want to personally thank everyone who contributed, this wouldn't have been the success it was without each and everyone one of you.

This Hackathon was an experiment as it is something I want to do on a regular basis. I see it as an opportunity to get cool projects for Hive and potentially get more users to Hive.

Thanks to @asgarth's help, we already have a website to promote the Hackathon at https://hivehackathon.com. This is a work in progress and will be used to promote and market the Hackathon and Hive on social media and other media outlets.
