TradingScreen Inc. and the MIT Enterprise Forum of New York announce the finalists for the second annual “Dream it. Code it. Win it." competition. The student coding competition was judged based on the quality of the problem being tackled as well as the solution, with the aim to promote creativity, diversity and literacy in the field of computer science.
Winners were awarded close to $70,000 in cash and prizes.

Win it. was organized by Cristina Dolan, MIT Media Lab Alumna and Co-Founder of OneMain (IPO & Acquired), who founded the event in 2014 and won the Traders Magazine Charitable Contribution Award and an MIT Volunteer Honor Roll.
