 Registration for NCBCE’s 3rd Annual Ready, Set, App! competition is open!
This mobile app building competition is open to all NC high schoolers.
Ready, Set, App!
What: North Carolina Business Committee for Education’s Ready, Set, App! challenge is a mobile app development competition for high school students sponsored by Lenovo™. Student groups are asked to develop a mobile app to solve a problem in their school or community.
Who: Ready, Set, App! is open to all NC high school students. Students will participate in groups of 3 - 5 along with a teacher advisor or faculty leader.
When: Registration is open now until January 28, 2022. Projects are due April 1, 2022.
How: Student groups will create a functioning mobile app using a mobile app development platform (e.g., MIT App Inventor) to solve a problem in their school or community. They will then create a two-part video that includes an app pitch with demo, and a group reflection. Those videos will then be voted on, and the top teams will go to the final pitch competition where they will pitch their apps to a live audience and panel of professionals for the chance to win prizes courtesy of Lenovo™.
