Course Description
This event is an excellent training opportunity for those interested in running an apps challenge, or those new to challenges altogether. Mobile devices and apps are proliferating, so building this capacity in the government is more important than ever. Hear from speakers who have run apps challenges about what went right, as well as unexpected obstacles. After spending half a day with us, you'll have a toolkit to help you use challenges to quickly and cost-effectively build apps that engage citizens and provide better customer service.
