Lots of robot competitions out there

[RoboMom]

The Contest
Are you a visionary? An innovator? Someone who has cool ideas once in awhile? We are working to develop a family of science-based educational apps for the Google Android smartphone, and we need YOUR help to come up with app ideas! Winning concepts from this contest will be professionally developed and distributed on the Google Android Marketplace.
The Rules
The mobile app must:

• Promote or teach science education in an innovative, effective manner.
• Impact many.
• Have the potential to be a competitive and viable mobile app on the Google Marketplace.
• Be your original idea!

Please submit app proposals by midnight, September 30, 2010, to: technovation.challenge@gmail.com with the following sections:

• Name/Address/ Age/Email/Phone/brief resume or linkedin profile/Past Technovation Challenge or Technovation Express Program Graduate (yes/no)?
• Concept: What does your app do? How will it help produce science education?
• Target Audience: Which populations will your app reach?
• Market Opportunity: Why and how is your app unique amongst the thousands already out there?
• Marketing Plan: How will your app be distributed?
• Sustainability: Will your app generate revenue? How?
• Impact: How will you demonstrate your app’s effectiveness?

Our panel of judges will screen the proposals. The best ideas and most well-thought-out proposals will be invited as finalists to promote their work. The public will be invited to choose the app concepts they like best. The winning app concepts will be professionally developed, distributed and marketed on the Google Marketplace.
Background
Through our Technovation Challenge (link) high-tech entrepreneurial programs, we teach under-served/represented students programming and entrepreneurial skills, give them access to professional mentors, and form them into teams where they create mobile app prototypes, business plans, and funding pitches for their virtual high-tech companies. The best mobile app concepts are professionally developed. The Technovation Challenge program has run successfully in the bay area, and will be growing to serve Los Angeles and New York in Spring 2011. Check us out on (link), become our fan on facebook, and help us launch our family of science-based educational apps by entering the Iridescent App Development Challenge!
