The Code for Community Challenge is a competition to create a mobile or web based app that meets a community need. A mobile app is a software application that runs in a smartphone, tablet or other portable device. A web based app is a software application that is usable only with an active Internet connection.
The Challenge is limited to teams of 2 to 4 undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Maryland, College Park. An “Information Session” (Tues Nov 13, 2012 at 7pm, Cambridge Community Center) will introduce our Community Sponsors and provide details about the CfC Challenge. You must register for the Competition by January 21, 2013.
In February and March, 2013 four “Meet the Community Sponsor” events will be scheduled to allow teams to gain further input from the Community Sponsors and other guests. You must submit your app for review by April 1, 2013. The top three winning apps will be determined by an Awards Committee and will be announced at an Awards Ceremony scheduled for the end of April 2013. Community Sponsors as well as University representatives will be present for the Awards.
