The grand prize (and the Audience Award) was awarded to the Space Track team. Jarred Duggal (Syracuse, NY), Taylor Dinardo and Tanner Festa (Suny New Paltz students, NY), Patrick Meaney (Poughkeepsie, NY), Gerard Vinyes (Catalonia), Aidan Young (Canada), Jacob Johnston (Newburgh, NY). They built the SpaceTrack website to help students, particularly those who struggle with executive function, to organize and prioritize tasks in the new virtual environment. Tasks can include courses, social interaction, exercise, and other goal-oriented activities. SpaceTrack includes games, a prioritization calculator, task selector, parent portal, and a VR display, not to mention its awesome space theme!
