Mobile Apps for Healthy Lives Challenge
A Design Challenge to Improve Medicine in Developing Countries
Monday, February 2, 2015 | 12:00PM – 3:00PM | Open to all iSchool students | Limited to 6 teams
Prize: $200 per teammate
Work in teams of 2 or 3 over a weekend to create a design concept of a mobile app and then present your idea. Design challenge requirements will be released January 30. Presentations will be held February 2.
Design concepts can include diagrams, schematics, storyboards, drawings, narrative explanations, animations, or any other creative elements. Teams should be able to clearly show how their design concepts satisfy the challenge requirements. Because this challenge is limited to 72 hours, teams are not expected to create working prototypes of their mobile apps. Students from all iSchool programs are encouraged to participate. The challenge does not require any programming or technical background.
Presentation guidelines will be distributed to teams during the Presentation Working Session on February 2, 12:00-2:00pm. Team presentations will be limited to 6 minutes, followed by questions from judges.
