The Pace Mobile App Design Contest 3.0 is based on the popular hackathon. Participants form teams to create a concept mobile application using any tool (e.g. Proto.io) or a scripting/programming language (e.g. HTML5) and demonstrate it to the audience and the judging panel. Prizes are awarded based on judges' expert opinion.

What is a concept mobile application?

A concept mobile application is an interactive prototype software application accessible via smartphone, tablet or desktop and has the look-and-fell of a mobile application but may or may not have the programming logic to perform the associated features. It can be operated using links that go from one screen to the other.

Who can compete?

Only Pace University students are allowed to participate in the hackathon (from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm). Registered particpants will form teams of 2 to 4 students. All teams must be comprised of students from at least two different Schools or Colleges at Pace University (i.e. Lubin School of Business and Seidenberg School of Computer Science & Information Systems). At 6:00 pm each team will have 3 minutes to demonstrate their application.
