In this episode we chat with one of the winner of IBM's 2018 Call for Code virtual hackathon, which focuses on challenging developers to find ways to reduce the impact of natural disasters through technology. The winners of Project OWL, a deployable mesh network for bringing connectivity to survivors of natural disasters (don't worry, we explain what that it), were part of 100,000 developers to compete. You can join this year's Call for Code 2019 at callforcode.org.

Nick Feuer got his start in coding by participating in over 60 hackathons in the US and abroad. He and a team of developers won IBM's 2018 Call for Code virtual hackathon with their idea of a deployable mesh network for brining connectivity to survivors of natural disasters so that they can get the help they need from first responders.
