We introduced the category of mobile app design in Design Championship 2019, Theme will be announced 21 days prior to event day. We aim to provide a platform to students on app-based entrepreneurship. We call it ‘Appreneurship’

The goal for students is to create a mobile app using available app creation tools (MAD-learn, MIT App Inventor 2, Thunkable & Appybuilder, etc.) based on given theme. And have their mobile app shared with the jury for assessment. To that end, students must work toward the following criteria:The goal for students is to create a mobile app using available app creation tools (MAD-learn, MIT App Inventor 2, Thunkable & Appybuilder, etc.) based on given theme.
