Apps To Empower
We invite you to think out of the box and create apps that inform, educate and empower.
You are Invited
You are invited to participate in a global phenomenon. As women and girls everywhere gain access to technology, they are using it to improve their lives, families and communities. We believe we can play an active role in this empowerment. We invite you, no matter where you’re from, to share your creative energy and technical expertise. Help us empower young women in leadership and mentorship, jobs and entrepreneurship, education and conflict resolution.
Our esteemed judges will select winning apps in four categories. Each category winner will:
- Compete for $10,000 in prizes
- Have your app pre-loaded onto thousands of devices for global distribution on the Ubislate series of tablet and at the BluWorld portal
- Receive up to 20 tablets for user testing and app development
- Receive global recognition from partners and sponsors including publication of your app deployment story
The Global Apps to Empower contest is organized by Agnite Education, American Digital University, Applications for Good, BluWorld, Cat in Woods, Datawind, Equal Access International and the United Nations Office for Partnerships.
