About the Challenge
Calling all developers, network engineers and community catalysts. Mozilla and the National Science Foundation (NSF) invite designers, developers and everyday people to brainstorm and build applications for the faster, smarter Internet of the future. The goal: create apps that take advantage of next-generation networks up to 250 times faster than today, in areas that benefit the public -- like education, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, public safety and clean energy.
Designing for the internet of the future
The challenge begins with a "Brainstorming Round" where anyone can submit and discuss ideas. The best ideas will receive funding and support to become a reality. Later rounds will focus specifically on application design and development. All are welcome to participate in the brainstorming round.
