Next Deadline: June 15

Thank you for submitting your ideas!

Ideas we want.

Here are some examples drawn from the everyday experiences of students, faculty, and staff. You don’t need to limit yourself to UChicago-specific ideas (but we’ll gladly accept those too!).

Valuable experience in rapid creativity, idea generation, and prototyping. Make your product a reality! Past student, faculty and staff entrants have also leveraged the skills they learned in their current jobs and interviews.

Do I have to be a programmer? (No!)

Anyone can enter. And no, you don’t have to be a programmer. You just need to have a great idea (or two, or three).

The Basics

Students, faculty, staff, Alumni, and Polsky members can submit their app ideas for development all year.

And we do the heavy lifting (programming, that is) to build your idea in the meantime.

How do I win 100 hours of development for my idea?

If you're accepted and complete the requirements, we will build your app. We’ve got 100 hours of free development time to morph your idea into a minimum viable product!
