"App-pealing" Opportunity

On November 7th, MavenLIFT hosted an app pitch night at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse and the prize was $3,000 in support to build an app. 

Chris pitched an idea that is currently called Textcursions which would essentially move Live It Learn It programming onto mobile devices.  Students would be challenged to answer questions and solve problems on a mobile device while on our field trips.  Students would then return to the classroom and edit the work they started on the trip to write a final report electronically.  Once students have finished their reports they could send it to their teacher and also notify their parent of the trip that they just completed.  One final addition is that families would also be given the opportunity to download a copy of the trip report and even print out a photo book for a keepsake. 

The exciting news is that we won!  We are now in collaboration with MavenLIFT to build a working app and we are also securing tablet computers to roll this out come spring!  It will prove to be an exciting venture.
