ABOUT UNM and CNM’s MOBILE APP CONTEST 

The Office of the Chief Information Officer at the University of New Mexico (UNM) is sponsoring its sixth-annual Mobile App Contest, providing an opportunity for students from UNM and Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) to develop and apply coding skills to make useful mobile applications for the community. The contest will also provide motivated students support to commercialize any market worthy apps that result.    

 

SCHOLARSHIP

In recognition of the vital need for ongoing technology education and certification, NMTC and our sponsors will award a single scholarship to one of our members at its Annual Women in Technology Celebration. The scholarship may fund additional education, job re-training, or certification so that one of our own can switch to a career in technology or gain the skills needed to advance in her technology career.

Scholarship Powered by Presbyterian Healthcare Services.
