The IMS NEW CHALLENGE competition aims to stimulate creative and entrepreneurial spirit of young students of secondary education , rewarding original ideas that have potential for creating projects that in some way improve people's lives.

The challenge is to create and describe in detail an App that fulfills a unique purpose : to improve life. The best ideas will be awarded as well as the school of the winning project . Applications are open until 8 May 2016 - therefore, over two months for you to show how skilled you are. Can you imagine your mates', parents', teachers' reaction if you won? What an amazing feeling that would be and the visibility it would bring upon yourself? Your school? Soure?

Go ahead, folks, read the official rules and just ask for help in case you need.

 Good Luck!

  1. It is very good to have projects like this for teenagers as we can show what they are worth , but I think I'm not the person to participate in this project, but support those who want to participate.

    1. We are not all good at the same thing and that's great to admit it. If some of your classmates do participate, they will surely appreciate your support, even your ideas ;)

  2. One more time the teacher to give the knowledge of interesting and varied competitions where if she has that for in she practises all its technological knowledge.
    I find that this is an interesting competition, first therefore I am a Portuguese competition, second because he is a competition for adolescents, what he is not very common of if to see after all is normally for young adults, third therefore want that if he creates one app.

    1. Yep, a Portuguese competition, but you all have to overcome the language barrier, Rui. Sooner or later, you'll see the difference it can make in your life.
      As for the competition itself, go for it, it's for YOU, for creative and resourceful teens like you, able to create and develop an app to improve people´s lives.
      Here's another idea: http://cdi.org.pt/apps-good/. Unfortunately our school is not involved, but who knows next year?

  3. This project is fantastic and I'm surprised it is Portuguese. Usually, we don't have opportunities like this here. Unfortunately, everything takes a long time to get to Portugal... :( So, why not try it if you have an idea?

    1. Exactly - instead of just being a consumer, why don't you / your classmates become producers too?
