Posted on Feb 02 2023
The Marianas Tourism Education Council is reminding all middle school and high school students in the Marianas that submission deadline for its MTEC Tourism App Challenge is Monday, Feb. 6.
The contest challenges students to design an app for visitors to the Marianas destination. The contest goals are, first, to enhance tourists’ understanding of the island community, landscape, hospitality businesses and other service elements that the Northern Mariana Islands is proud to offer, and second, to provide accurate and timely information about the place, people, organizations, and services the Marianas has to offer as a destination.
“We encourage our young people to test their wings with the app development and give this challenge a shot,” said MTEC acting chairwoman Vicky Benavente. “As recommended by our MTEC board member Dr. Galvin Guerrero, there are a ton of wonderful resources for young app developers at commonsense.org, and we look forward to seeing the submissions.”
Students may compete as individuals or in teams of up to three students. Each participating individual or team shall submit only one app for competition. The deadline to submit is 11:59pm Chamorro Standard Time, Feb. 6, 2023. Cash prizes will be awarded to the team leader: first place, $500; second place, $300, and third place, $200. (MTEC)
