Which program allows middle and high school students to use their STEM skills to develop a mobile app concept?

The Verizon Innovative App Challenge is specifically designed for middle and high school students to utilize their STEM skills in creating mobile app concepts. This competition encourages students to work in teams to brainstorm, design, and pitch a mobile app idea that addresses a real-world problem. It promotes not only technical abilities, such as coding and design but also critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. By participating in this challenge, students can gain valuable experience in the app development process, preparing them for future STEM-related activities and careers.

Other programs, while valuable in their own right, may focus on broader STEM education or involve different aspects of technology rather than specifically concentrating on mobile app development.
