Tuesday, March 18
11:30 a.m. -  1:30 p.m.
Woody Hall, C227

Email reach@siu.edu in advance and we'll order you a sandwich for lunch!  In the meantime, here are some FAQs (from http://siu.launcht.com):

How do I know for sure if my idea is unique?

• We highly suggest: do a knock-out search.

Does the competition require that I submit a completed and operational App?

• No, as long as you can describe it well, have an image to show what it will look like, and a video to show what it will do, you should be OK!  Of course, you may have an advantage over competitors if you can demonstrate a working App.;)  Read the Guidelines for information about submission requirements.
