How to enter:

To participate in the Competition, each Team must select a problem statement during the first month of the training program [the “Task”]. Each Task will require, at a minimum, that Teams create and write code to invent a product that offers a solution to their selected Task (“Solution” and together with all ancillary materials submitted, “Entrant Content”). The Competition Period is six months and will have two batches of the Training Program (each batch is three (3) months long, and will be back to back). Each Team will work on their selected Task and build their Solution throughout the three-month Training Program Period. All code must be created by Entrants during the timeframe of the Training Program. Teams may work on their Solution outside of the events of the Innovation Challenge, but they must work on their Solution during the three-month time frame. At the end of the Training Program, teams will submit their Solution to the Task to CoderSchool. To maintain fairness, the first batch of Teams must submit their Solution at the end of their three-month Training Program. At the end of the Competition Period, selected teams will be chosen to present their Solution at the final demo day (“Demo Day”)of the Competition Period. Not all teams will present their Solution on the Demo Day; there will be a preliminary round before the Demo Day to select the top teams to present in front of a panel of judges.
