The NW Regional App Challenge is a chance for girls to demonstrate their coding project and meet with other like-minded girls. Girls will get great swag, have loads of fun, and have the opportunity to show off the projects they have worked so hard to complete. This is an amazing opportunity for girls to rub elbows with two real Venture Capitalists (just like on Shark Tank), University professors, and local technology company CEOS.
