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.
To promote awareness, community service, and innovation, the theme of this challenge is “Smart Communities and Sustainability.” This challenge encourages students to develop a mobile application that will make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The CS4GA App and Design Challenge is sponsored by CS4GA.
