Winners for the United Way NCA Hackathon

Logi Analytics, an insightsoftware company partnered with United Way of the National Capital Area (United Way NCA) to host a month-long virtual hackathon. Participants, both existing and non-Logi users were given access to a large, anonymized dataset from United Way NCA's programs and to a virtual instance of Logi Composer as their primary embedded analytics tool. Their task was to deliver a new analytics dashboard that provided insights into United Way NCA's dataset.

The winners of the United Way NCA Hackathon are a team of Data Scientists from STCHealth comprised of four people: Sawyer Koops, Kaye Kleine, Jordan McKinney, and Roni Salman who received a $1,500 gift card for their accomplishment. Hackathon participant Yu Song also received a $500 gift card for his time and effort in building a solution as a first-time Logi user.

The STCHealth team developed a two-prong solution providing insight to the target population, supporting volunteer activity and financials and program outcomes/efficacy. United Way's Landing Dashboard is the starting point for exploration and descriptive analysis. It includes volume key performance indicators as well as visuals to stratify program participation, income/age/race across regions, and veteran/employment/justice system contact across the dataset. Clicking a program or region here provides users a link to a filtered view of the United Way NCA's Outcomes Dashboard. This dashboard provides the "so-what" analysis for United Way NCA's programs, with visuals representing target vs actual volumes, target completion percentages, and financial metrics.
