April 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Bryant University’s Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization & Center for Program Innovation will be working with the Bryant University Information & Technology Department to increase involvement between students and the technology behind mobile applications during Research & Engagement Day, Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at Bryant University.

Students will have the opportunity to come up with ideas for a Bryant University mobile
application specifically targeted for Bryant University. Students can compete in teams of up to four and will have seven minutes to pitch their ideas in front of a panel of judges. Judging criteria will be based on target market, application prototype, and the value this application will have for Bryant University.  Students must e-mail their team member’s names to CEO@bryant.edu in order to be eligible to compete in the App-A-Thon. Students who participate will have the opportunity to win an iPod docking station and the chance to see their app built by Bryant University.
