Share your technical or innovation skills in the fourth annual UCLA Code for the Mission App Competition mobile app competition. Enter an idea for an app or join a team and gain app-building experience. Team registration is open now through Friday, June 16th.

This year's app tracks are:

  • Education: Apps that support diversity in education;
  • Research: Apps that enhance self-knowledge via data Quantified-Self Apps;
  • Service: Apps for a more livable LA.

UCLA students, as individuals or teams, are also invited to apply to work on developing Chancellor Block’s idea for a mobile app. The aim of the app is to match UCLA student volunteers with underserved youth in need of tutoring.
