The Kent App Challenge is a competition open to ALL students at the University of Kent.  No coding or technical knowledge is required to enter.

Students have 6 weeks to create an exciting and innovative app idea, which provides a solution to a global problem. At the end of the 6 weeks, students have the chance to pitch their idea to a panel of judges.

Each student in the winning team will receive a cash prize of £200 (up to a maximum £800 prize for the whole team) and all students who participate in the competition will be able to collect Employability Points.
