We're hosting an app competition to encourage as many students as possible to code and ship products in the month of May!
https://makeschool.devpost.com
The winning student will get an all expenses paid trip to San Francisco to visit Airbnb, Google and various YC startups, meet YC founders, and get product feedback and career coaching!
In addition to prizes for the top apps, all submissions with 10 upvotes get a discount to our Summer Academy and are entered into a raffle for a DJI Phantom drone. So even if you're just getting started coding and submit a simple app - you could still win a cool prize.
The scope is completely open - you can submit a mobile app, website, VR experience, IoT device or anything you dream of. Since the deadline is coming up soon, you're welcome to improve on and submit a project you've worked on this year at a hackathon or in school.
If you're interested in participating, would be awesome to have you comment here with what you're thinking of building and what technologies you'll be using. That way you can connect with other students working with the same stack and help each other out :)
Happy hacking!
