App Challenge from Verizon & Technology Student Association

The Innovative App Challenge encourages middle and high school students to get to work creating “design concepts for mobile apps that integrate STEM and address a problem in the students’ school or community.” Verizon has made available help via instructional videos for students who wish to take on this challenge. Five middle schools and five high schools will each receive a cash grant of $10,000 in addition to “training and support to build the apps and bring them to market.”  Registration opened mid-October 2012.  All entries must be submitted between December 1 2012 and January 18, 2013.
