Decisions Modeling for Greater Philadelphia
A C.O.D.E. Hackathon | February 6, 2027
Help someone in Greater Philadelphia make a better decision—and build something that shows how.
Join developers, designers, data scientists, founders, and community members to turn local challenges into working prototypes. Explore how data, AI, simulations, and deliberate decision models can help people compare options, understand tradeoffs, and choose their next step.
What could you build?
A tool that helps a small business compare expansion locations.
A simulation exploring transportation choices and access to jobs.
A model helping a nonprofit allocate limited resources.
An application that helps residents weigh housing and commuting options.
An AI agent that gathers evidence and explains possible courses of action.
Bring a problem you understand, an idea you want to test, or your curiosity. All experience levels are welcome. AI is welcome but isn’t required.
The challenge
Identify a real decision, who makes it, and what constraints they face. Build a prototype that compares meaningful options and makes its assumptions clear. Show how it could improve the way that decision is made today.
What to bring
Bring your laptop, charger, and any tools or datasets you plan to use. Use only data you have permission to access and share.
Submissions and judging
Submit your project through Devpost on February 6, including a project description, code repository, accessible prototype or setup instructions, and a demo video of up to three minutes.
Judging runs February 6–8, 2027, with projects evaluated on local relevance, usefulness, decision modeling, technical execution, and clarity.
Hosted by C.O.D.E. — Community of Developers & Engineers.
Better decisions. Stronger communities.
