Friends, the Jamaican Ministry of Education, Research in Motion and Digicel have partnered to put on the Jamaican (student) leg of the BlackBerry Developers Competition 2011, dubbed "Aptitude".
(Research in Motion are the manufacturers of BlackBerry phones).
The competition, which is open to students from the primary to tertiary levels of education, encourages students to use their creativity to develop mobile apps for the BlackBerry Smartphone or Playbook.
One of the objectives of the BlackBerry Developers Competition 2011, is the utilization of technology to uplift youth, stimulate enterprise and broaden the overall learning/education environment.
Registration for competition started on May 4 and will end on June 30, whilst all apps/ideas must be submitted by July 30,2011.
Sensitization workshops which give students and their teachers more information about the competition, are now in progress.
Prizes include the latest BlackBerry phones (the Blackberry 8520, 9300, 9700 and 9800), gift bags with great goodies, plaques for your school and medals.
Please:
1) Check www.bbdevelopers.gov.jm for more information
2) Read all the documentation on the website, very carefully, especially at it relates to your Intellectual Property rights (patents, trademarks, copyright).
We at Girl With a Purpose (GWAP) Blog, wish you all the best in the competition!
