8. Verizon Innovative App Challenge The Verizon Innovative App Challenge is an exciting, creative, and collaborative competition that offers $20,000 grants for winning middle schools and high schools and Samsung Galaxy Tablets for students on the winning teams. Designed to ignite students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), the Challenge shows students exciting new possibilities for their futures, opening doors they may never have known were there. While designing their apps, students consider marketplace need, usefulness, audience, viability, and align their app concept with one of the three Verizon Foundation focus areas of Education, Healthcare or Sustainability. Teams submit their design concepts online through an App Concept Overview and Summary, a three-to- five minute Video, and Essay Responses. The top middle school and top high school teams that meet all contest requirements will be named "Best in State" and be eligible for consideration as "Best in Region" winners. Team members will be invited to participate in a live STEM related webinar hosted by the Verizon Foundation. Award: Up to $20,000 Deadline: November 24, 2014 http://appchallenge.tsaweb.org/
