Do you have an original, possibly half-baked project in the form of a phone or web app? Do you have a previous course project that you wish you had time to refine? Do you have a project idea you've been meaning to work on but just wanted an incentive? Do you have a team project that you are excited about continuing?

This is the platform to showcase your project, win prizes, put something cool on your resume, gain valuable exposure to experienced alumni and other resources for work that you have already done.

About

The Arrix Family Innovation Lab and the Notre Dame IDEA Center together bring a special technology app demo competition to the Notre Dame community.

The Arrix Family and IDEA Center App Contest — fully virtual for 2021 — is an opportunity for students to present working prototypes for technology applications that improve our collective daily lives. The contest aims to showcase student talent and provide monetary assistance to propel ideas and prototypes toward operational businesses that serve society.

This is not a hackathon —It is an opportunity to present ideas and prototypes students have created in advance for financial consideration in continuing to development that work.

Selected entrants will deliver a working three-minute demonstration of their app during the presentation.
