Students Gather for CSUN's AppJam Kickoff

April 2, 2015

Students signing in at the AppJam kickoff event.

CSUN's AppJam 2015 competition was launched on Wednesday, April 1 during a kickoff event held in Sequoia Hall. This event followed a series of AppJam info sessions and mixers that were held weekly to allow students to meet and learn more about CSUN's mobile app competition. At the kickoff, teams were given an overview of the project, rules for participation, timeline and a list of resources that are available to them for the competition. Over 45 students participated in the event!

From now until the end of April, student teams will develop mobile apps in one of two categories, student life, or student finances, and present their apps at the AppJam Showcase scheduled for Thursday, April 30, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. to be held in the Oviatt Library, Ferman Presentation Room. The prizes for each category will be: $5,000 for first prize, $3,500 for second prize and $1,500 for third prize.
