A growing number of smartphone and tablet users are turning to Verizon Wireless to get the most out of their wireless devices. Overall attendance at the company’s increasingly popular Wireless Workshops has more than doubled in 2012 and is expected to grow as summer ends with children going back to school and parents making time to brush up on their own smartphone and tablet skills. Verizon Wireless Workshops are free of charge and available online and in most Verizon Wireless Communications Stores. Customers can visit www.verizonwireless.com/workshops to search for a list of topics and schedules at participating stores in their area as well as information about online sessions.

The Verizon Innovative App Challenge - the no-coding-skills-needed contest that gives middle and high school students a chance to bring their problem-solving app ideas to life - is back! In its fourth year, the App Challenge calls students to gather teams, dream up ideas, and create concepts for mobile apps that could solve problems in their schools and communities.
For the first time, the App Challenge will be open to teams representing non-profit organizations in addition to schools, and even more students will earn free tablets and cash awards for the groups they represent. The deadline for submission is Nov. 24, and the winners will be named in January 2016.
Bill Nye, the Science Guy, is helping Verizon to encourage students nationwide to submit their ideas and to organize their teams now.
Created by the Verizon Foundation in partnership with the Technology Student Association, the App Challenge offers hands-on, experiential learning to ultimately help students envision brighter futures for themselves that they may never have imagined, as business owners, app inventors and professional coders.
