Lenovo and NAF announce 2019 Mobile App Competition winners
From tracking levels of lead to tackling mental health, high school students across the country just embraced an annual challenge to build a visionary app.
Lenovo and NAF—our nonprofit partner focused on high school education—just announced the top five winners from the fifth annual Lenovo Scholar Network National Mobile App Development Competition. All entrants participated through local NAF academies.
The competition and app development program encourages greater interest among underserved high school students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) while providing them with high-tech skills to succeed in the 21st century. Teams of students from 50 Lenovo Scholar Network academies across the U.S. spent months developing mobile apps that will be of service in their classrooms and communities.
“It’s exciting to see the creativity and skills that Lenovo Scholar Network students have showcased in this year’s mobile app competition,” said Matt Zielinski, president of Lenovo North America who majored in electrical engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. “Lenovo is proud to partner with NAF to promote critical STEM-based learning and help develop future technology innovators and leaders.”
