Note: The candiDate app started during Causathon, a hackathon competition focused on creating impactful technology solutions for nonprofits. Rock the Vote, a participating organization, challenged teams to find disruptive ways to inspire more young people to register to vote as over 50% of 18 to 29 year-old eligible voters are not currently registered. During the 24-hour hackathon, a minimum viable product of candiDate was conceived and produced by a team of developers and designers who had not worked together before. Ultimately, the candiDate app was selected by a panel of esteemed judges as a Causathon Competition Finalist. The app continued to be developed by HelpsGood, a digital agency focused on creating social good.
