Our app is on its way to the judges! :P
Tahani, my team username is ASG6 and they want it to be changed to "appers" , as we submitted our work with this name, so can you please change it? :)
Thank you!
So exciting! Great work!
I changed your team name to "appers".
Thanks,
Jenna

Cole GSTEM Team 3 – Fiery Flames & Co.

Hi Jenna,
I can't remember what I originally named the teams when registering. I think it was nycischool and nycischool2. Our girls' team names are now Wukees and Book Guardians. Would you be able to update your records with these names?
Thank you!
Julie Fetzner
Hi Julie,
I changed nycischool (Manene, Gabriela, Martha, Chloe) to Wukees and nycischool2 (Christy, Nilufa, Ming, Ishanee) to Book Guardians.
Thanks!
Jenna

Hi Mita,
Congratulations on the submission. Confirmation emails just take a while sometimes, but a batch was just sent out. I checked your folder personally, and it was fine. You should have gotten an email with confirmation as well.
Thanks for your patience!
Tahani
Hi Jenna, I just submitted The A team project. Please let me know if you got them. Thanks!

Thanks so much! It was such a fun experience for the GeekChic team.
Thanks for doing this!
Hi all. Our team is having problems with obtaining the .zip file for the app. After we select the app on the My Projects screen and click 'Download Source', nothing happens. No file shows up on the computer, and nothing appears to ask where to save the file. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Hi Northgate,
The same problem happens to our team ,we can't download the source or packaging . I tried to clear up all blocks and assets ,but that didn't solve it!.
If this issue still persistent ,what shall we do?
Thanks
Hi Purple,
I'm another member on the Northgate team, and I think the problem is caused by the size of the app. From what I've found out, the current limit for apps is 5 MB. I was unable to download the source packaging as well, but I was able to download the package for a 2-screen app, which would be considerably smaller.
I haven't tried this theory out yet because app inventor won't allow me to copy the app, but see if you can discuss this with your team. I think clearing unneeded screens will allow you to download the package. However, in case I'm proven wrong, I'd experiment with a copy of your app just in case.
Hope this works!
EDIT: I just deleted a couple screens and tried to package it to my computer, the loading popup appeared and it started packaging! This should work for the source download as well, but I have yet to test that.
Thanks Northgate ,
Well ,I think you were right, I also deleted few screens ,and also the blocks - it seems working now ..
I will rebuild the blocks again -taugh job!
Good luck to your team :)
Yes,I can understand Elaine ,how many screens you have ?
Hi, I'm the Teacher/Mentor for team Torchwood 5. I'm wondering when the post survey will be up for the girls to respond?
Hi!
Thanks for your question. I just posted the surveys for the students, mentors and teachers before the submission guidelines above. Teams should also get an email within a day of their submission with the links for the post-surveys.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
Tahani
Hi, Jenna,
Just want to confirm. We have 5 teams from Immaculate Conception Academy:

I have named each of the Drop Box Folders as such and just want to make sure that these are in fact the names I used to register our teams :)
Thanks so much!
Hi Gigi!
I e-mailed you directly about the team names. Just an FYI!
Thanks,
Jenna

Hi Rema,
Congratulations! Can you make sure the team uses the new word document? It includes an email that we can use to get in touch with the team to announce winners etc.
You can find the document here: http://iridescentlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Reaname_as_your_TEAMNAME1.docx
Thanks!

Hi! Comment and a question about wrapping up:
Comment: I think the submission process would have been more steamlined if team could have just submitted using Google Drive. Teams already have a team google account. They could just create a folder in their drive, put everything in there (including video) and share the folder with a technovation adminstrator's email. Could this be changed for next year?
Question: Week 12 seems to indicate there is a post survey. I am not seeing it - did I miss it?
thanks!
Hi Sara,
Thank you very much for the comments. We will be looking at all feedback from this season and use it to improve the program!
Tahani will follow up with the post survey soon.
Thanks!
Jenna
Mission Accomplished !
Team name: Supernova (Sarah, Larah , Dana and Yasmeen) / Al-Ahliyyah School for girls | Amman/Jordan

-Jenna
Hi,
I have the same problem as Ann,
My team username is ASGG4 and they want Limitless as there team name
Jenna can you please change it for me?
Thanks in advance
Alia Shaheen
Q-Ninjas it is! I updated our records. Worry no more : )
-Jenna
Thanks Kelly! Our records are up to date.
-Jenna
The instructions say the upload folder needs to have the same name as the team used to register. Our team changed their name. How should we name the folder?
Thanks!
Hi Ann!
I see that your teams from Castilleja School registered as innogators1 and innogators2. I can change them officially in our records. What are the new names?
Thanks,
Jenna
Not a problem- I updated the information. (cool names BTW!)
-Jenna
Hi Chinma,
Projects are Due today at 5pm PST so ~3.5 hours from now. Perhpas the connection is slow?
-Jenna
I don't think that would be a bad idea. Please and make sure it works in the end.
Thanks,
Jenna
Hi Kelly,
It is a step in the process but you will also get a e-mail confirmation from Technovation formally. Since we go through the submission and do an audit of materials it isn't instant. You should get a e-mail soon.
Thanks!
Jenna
Hi Chinma,
No problem! This is why I'm here : )
I sent you an e-mail directly. Did you get it?
Judging starts tomorrow and we will announce winners on the 18th. We will e-mail the announcement to the address provided in the submission. Please be sure to check that e-mail.
Then we are off to World Pitch on May 2nd!

Hi There!
So I feel terrible but I didn't have a chance to snap pictures of the 7 teams today in class (last day to work on the project, 50 minutes, and only myself to answer everyone's questions didn't leave any spare time). We were hit by that blizzard this week in Denver, so our class only met Monday and today (no school tomorrow). I will have a chance to upload team pictures the week after next (there is standardized testing all next week). We can upload all the other components, but I wanted to make sure my girls wouldn't be penalized for not having a team picture in the drop box folder.
Thanks,
Jackie Blizzard
Hi Jackie!
Sorry to hear about the snow! The girls will not be penalized for submitting their project without the photo. Thank you for letting us know in advance. Please send it to us ASAP.
Looking forward to seeing the projects!
Thanks,
Jenna
Hi!
What is the 50 word supplementary information?
Cassandra
Hi Cassandra!
Some teams have informed us that their app needs login information to access, and that they need to share it with the judges, so we made supplementary information section to provide space for that. Teams can also use this space to highlight any extra work they have put in (eg. made website, blogs etc) about their apps.
Best,
Tahani
