At the end of The App School, you will be able to pitch your worked-up plans for your App to 7a panel of creative companies — and if they like what they see, they’ll build the app for you and get it on the iTunes Store!!! Whether your app is selected or not, you’ll have learnt a massive amount and have fantastic industry contacts — improving your chances of getting a job in the creative industries in Manchester. In addition, we’ll be creating an online documentary about the scheme, which will go out on www.CREATIVETimes.co.uk

If you are interested in being part of the scheme, you need to first think about the App you would like to work on. You need to consider what it will do, who it will be for, and why people will want to use it.

Are you..?
