2015-2016 CAPITAL ONE CODERS
2016 App Challenge Winners
On May 16, 2016, students from P.S. duPont Middle School celebrated at the Capital One Coders Closing Event in Wilmington, Delaware. These twenty-three students participated in a 10 week coding club through a partnership with Capital One and P.S. duPont Middle School. These students officially became coders during the club where they learned how to program and code their own apps.
At the closing event, these coders were able to showcase the apps that they had created and participated in the Capital One Coders App Challenge. Parents and families also joined the coders for a dinner event and then participated in voting for the Most Creative App, the Most User-Friendly App and the Most Original App.

The event concluded with the announcement of the Capital One Coder App Challenge winners: Most Creative: Keerthan Durasala; Most User-Friendly: Aniketh Avula and Sarthi Sheth; and Most Original: Divita Taduvayi. Each of the app challenge winners received a certificate and gift card. At this point, the coders, families and guests were all surprised when each coder was presented with an embroidered backpack that contained an HP laptop. What an amazing closing event and celebration to conclude the Capital One Coding joint partnership with P.S. duPont Middle School. Congratulations goes out to each coder! A special thanks also goes out to the mentors and Capital One for this incredible opportunity.
