- Business Plan: You can convert your word document to PDF in a number of ways.
Option 1: If you have Microsoft Word, simply go to "File", select "Save As..." and choose "PDF" under Format. Be sure to save it to a place where you will find it easily, such as your desktop.
Option 2: Copy your document into a Google Doc and convert it there. To do that, you need to log in to your gmail account, then click on "Drive" at the top. Then on the top left, click "Create" and choose "Document" from the drop down menu. Copy your business plan into the document. Then click on "File" on the top left, and choose to download it as a PDF document.
- Source code: To obtain your app’s Source Code, log in to App Inventor. Go to "My Projects". Check the box of the project that consists of your final app prototype. Click on "More Actions" button. Choose "Download Source" from the menu and save it to your computer. Then click on the empty box underneath to browse through your computer and upload the .zip file, without changing the name of the .zip file.
- Video Pitch and Demo: Create a YouTube account if you do not already have one. Then click on the upload button on the top right and upload your video. Make sure to set it to "public" under privacy settings and save the changes. Copy the link that is found under your video name and paste into the word document.
- Converting your PowerPoint into Slideshare: Go to slideshare.net. Create a free account on slideshare. Check the email you used to register, and follow instructions sent to your email to confirm the account. Log in to your account and click the upload button. Browse through your computer, and choose the presentation you want to upload. Once your file is uploaded, click on it to view, and copy the url. Paste the url into the word document.
- Converting your PowerPoint into Prezi: Go to prezi.com. Create a free account on Prezi. Select ‘PowerPoint’ from the top-center menu when in Edit mode. Click on "Select File..." and choose the PPT or PPTx file you want to import. Drag your slides from the sidebar to the canvas, or click Insert all. You can also choose to add a path between them. Paste the url into the word document.
- Do not assume that all judges will upload your .zip file and demo your app; please showcase your app in the video.
If your team is chosen as the 1st place winner from your region, you will be invited to attend World Pitch in the SF Bay Area (USA), where you will pitch to judges for a chance to win $10,000 in funding for your app.
