MIT App Inventor Yourth Mobile App Contest
Put on Your Inventing CapsMIT App Inventor invites you to enter our first MIT App Inventor Youth Mobile Power App Challenge, with YR Media. This contest is open to individuals or teams of up to three middle or high school students who reside in the US.
For the last several years, the MIT App Inventor team has been working with our good friends from YR Media (formerly Youth Radio) to create a series of apps and app building guides related to news stories about youth issues reported by youth working at YR Media.
Now it’s your turn.The MIT App Inventor Youth Mobile Power App Challenge, with YR Media asks you (and your teammates) to invent an app, using MIT App Inventor, that relates to one of a curated set of YR Media stories. Apps will be judged in two divisions, Middle School (gr. 5-8) and High School (gr. 9-12).
The Inventors of the top app in each division will be invited to present their apps at the MIT App Inventor 10th Anniversary Summit, Aug 1-3, 2019. They will meet members of the MIT App Inventor team and representatives from YR Media.
These winners will receive complimentary tickets to the Summit and related events, as well as limited financial aid to offset travel costs. All participants will receive a digital certificate of participation, and the apps and stories of each finalist team will be featured on the MIT App Inventor website.
