Team SMMAPPS win Saint Mary's First-ever Mobile App Contest

After a grueling month of coding, designing, and brainstorming, both team finalists of Saint Mary's Mobile App Contest recently presented their mobile application prototypes for final judging.

After careful deliberation, Team SMMAPPS were declared the winner of Phase Two, and awarded the grand-prize: iPad minis and course tuition waivers for each teammate.

Competition in the development phase of the contest was tough, as both teams presented stellar mobile app designs and concepts. The judging panel, which included Saint Mary's alumnus Ross Simmonds, would like to thank both teams for their hard work and ingenuity.
