Check out the winners of the "Utopia" coding contest

From Khan Academy Challenge Council Member Allison (tAG54):

"For the months of March and April, the Challenge Council prompted Khan Academy’s coding community to create a program which represented what a Utopia -- or a perfect (and sometimes futuristic) society, place, or world -- would look like to them. Users created games, graphics, animations, and interactive slideshows showing their visions of ideal places to live, and some even created programs to show the upsides and downsides to them.

Below are the winning entries for this contest, along with the judge’s comments. Congratulations and thank you to all of the participants for their hard work and effort!"
