Apps For Communities Challenge Winners Celebration at Andreessen Horowitz in Silicon Valley on December 15
Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation challenged American
citizens to develop software applications (apps) that deliver personalized, actionable information to people that are least likely to be online. Using hyper-local government and other public data, people developed apps that will enable Americans to benefit from broadband communications — regardless of geography, race, economic status, disability, residence on Tribal land, or degree of digital or English literacy — by providing easy access to relevant content.
This week, we’re excited to unveil the winners at a ceremony at 10 AM PST Thursday December 15 in Silicon Valley and online at http://appsforcommunities.challenge.gov/
