App Challenge

CS4GA App and Design Challenge

The Georgia App Design Challenge encourages students to learn and apply computer science skills while building their confidence, motivation, and student portfolios. This statewide event allows Georgia students to develop and share their software applications on a platform of their choice.

This challenge encourages students to develop a mobile application that will solve a current problem facing their local community. The theme for this school year’s CS4GA app and design challenge will be promoting physical fitness, mental well-being, and healthy habits.

How do students enter their app?

Teachers will submit student projects (video and written responses) to GaDOE judging. Teachers will register student app development teams by February 21, 2025.
