BY NICK | 1 min read

Apps For Humanity submissions are now officially due March 31st, 2016.

If you have an idea for an app that will help a cause that you care about, you still have time!
The CoreTech Foundation would like all innovators to know that you DO NOT need technical, programming experience to submit your App for Humanity Concept! CoreTech is here to help you make your idea a reality! Have a look at the submissions guidelines to get a better idea.

Some of the questions for your submission include:

1. What is the problem that your idea aims to solve?

2. What is the potential impact of your solution?

3. How would the CoreTech help you?
CoreTech's CORE software allows you to:

  • collect, analyze, and manage data of any size
  • securely develop high-performance mobile applications
  • develop engaging web platform
  • monitor and report on progress and events
  • enable mobile transactions via SMS CoreTech's CORE.
     

4. What makes your solution different from existing solutions that aim to address this problem?

If it's a novel idea, what makes it novel? If it builds on/adapts an existing idea, how does it add to that idea?

5. Describe the practical usability of your solution.

How can it be used by specific users to achieve the goals you've identified?

6. How complex is your solution?

It's not a bad thing if your solution is complex. We would simply like to see how you've worked the solution out in your head. Showing research which supports your submission idea is strongly encouraged.For some ideas about what kind of issues might make use of an app, you only need to look as far as exploring other existing HeroX Challenges!

How might an app...
