Flint Community Appathon
Help us Design content for the MI Healthy Mom (MI MOM) App

An appathon is an event where people work on designing an app together for a dedicated period of time.

The Flint appathon is mostly virtual, but will have in-person information and closing sessions.
No coding or programming skills are necessary, just familiarity and access to a computer.
Teams can work on their content for 6 weeks.
Technical training and expert consultations will be available to help.
Grading will be done by (1) a panel of expert judges and (2) a group of volunteer testers.

Prizes

The winning team will split $5000.

All other participants who submit content for judging will receive a small gift.
