AT&T Coding Challenge!

At AT&T, we’re embarking on our second Coding Challenge kicking off on August 26, 2013 – Nov. 22, 2013, and want to extend a formal invitation for your students to participate. The Coding Challenge is a competition to design and build an Android-based application using AT&T’s industry leading APIs. We’re inviting undergraduate students who are 18 or older from across the U.S. to participate in this one-of-a-kind competition to give students an opportunity to innovate together with the underlying power of the AT&T network.
The theme for the challenge will support the “It Can Wait” campaign. According to a recent AT&T Wireless survey, 75 percent of teenagers consider it “common” for their friends to text while driving. We’re challenging students to develop a creative app that will entice people to stop texting and driving.
Students can officially sign up for the Coding Challenge now using our online registration system.
