WINNER: The Smart Valve 2049 - Devpost Microsoft U.S. Azure IoT Hack for Sustainability

They just announced the winners for the IoT Hack for Sustainability. We won one of the three Honourable Mentions awards! Brian and I had a Teams call earlier this week with the judges where we were able to pitch our idea further (they had all already seen everyone's video and read their entries). I was super impressed with everyone's presentations and the Q&A sessions. Here are the 6 winners - https://iotsustainabilityhack.devpost.com/project-gallery

The product group was really awesome and welcoming of constructive feedback. "STEM Network" (1st place) was a really great idea and that team seemed super passionate about the space (they want to take their winnings and apply them toward making their hackathon project a real thing).

Here is what we won:

⭐ Honourable Mentions (3)

• $500 USD • Featured on the official Azure Developer Community blog • Swag valued at $50

Now I've earned 5 achievements on DevPost.com; but it looks like we need to do something about "leveling up"...

Huge thanks to Microsoft and DevPost for another fun hackathon!
