To promote innovation, community service, and career development among UC Berkeley students, The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) sponsored a semester-long competition for students to develop mobile apps that address needs in the following categories:
- Healthcare
- Energy & Climate
- Disaster Preparedness & Response
- Civic Engagement
- Education
Over the course of the spring 2014 semester, more than 50 students across 14 teams developed apps. Descriptions of team projects can be found at mobileappchallenge.org
We invite you to attend a Public Pitch/Demo Day on May 6 where teams will give short presentations to both a panel of judges and the UCB community. Prizes of up to $1000 will be awarded in various categories including most votes by you! See videos for each project on the CITRIS Mobile App Challenge Youtube page!
