RIDE App Design Challenge 

Commissioner Infante-Green is challenging K-12 students across Rhode Island to design an app that allows Rhode Island students and families to communicate and connect with each other safely during a global pandemic we are all experiencing. There are many guidelines that we are following to keep us safe, and that means we are seeing less of each other in person, or if we are in the classroom, we are keeping socially distant. We are looking to the creativity of our students to come up with ideas to bring our community together virtually. Perhaps it is a way to share favorite music or a way to check in on friends and family.  

Click here to submit ideas by Friday, December 18th, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Students may enter as individuals or teams up to 4 students. Sketches, wireframes and links are acceptable, as is any program language. 

Thanks to the generosity of the Rhode Island Foundation, there are cash prices for three student winners- $150 for first place; $100 for second place; $50 for third place. Reach out to info@ride.ri.gov with any questions.
