2017 Summer High School App Building Challenge

Thunkable is a drag-and-drop platform to build native mobile apps. It started as a research collaboration between MIT and Google focused on making it easier for novice developers to build mobile apps.

It is similar to App Inventor and is compatible with it. The main difference is that Thunkable allows you to develop native apps. It is App Inventor as it should have been in my own opinion.

The Thunkable High School App Building Challenge is an opportunity for students to address problems in their local communities by building awesome apps!

Details of the program are as follows:
Registration Opens: June 15th
Registration Closes: July 7th
App and Video Submission Deadline: August 25th
Winners Announced: September 28th

This competition is for Android apps only. It is open to high school students from all over the world. For more information, click this link.
