A team from CMU-Q took third place at YHack 2015, the annual Yale University Hackathon, on November 8, 2015.

Team members Maher Khan, Musab Ahmed Popatia and Qasim Nadeem developed a group vacation planner during the 36-hour competition. The app, which includes smart suggestion and matching algorithms, becomes smarter over time as more and more people use the application.

More than 1500 students competed in YHack 2015, representing universities such as Berkeley, MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. Sponsors included Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Intuit, Bloomberg, Jet Blue, HuffingtonPost, Nuance and HP.
