ASSIST Tech Challenge Competition for Students register your team


In 2021, ASSIST Software organized the first edition of a competition for students called ASSIST Tech Challenge, and the response exceeded all expectations.    

Fourteen teams registered for the event and took up the challenge of creating a full-stack app in only three weeks. Since then, we have spoken to the participants and tried to determine what made this competition appealing.   

The 2022 edition of ASSIST Tech Challenge is finally here, powered by the freshly released project, ASSIST Academy! As teams register again for the contest, we will go through the main reasons we discovered.   

  ASSIST Tech Challenge Competition for Students

1. The challenge itself    

Believe it or not, students like to be challenged, and the concept of this competition is of interest to many students who are keen to show their abilities. The theme of the app they need to create is not known from the get-go but announced on the first day of the competition. The mystery and the three-week implementation time are part of the overall charm.   

 

2. They get support from specialists in their domain  

Challenges are fun, but nobody wants to feel completely in the dark if they’ve hit a blockage of any kind. Therefore, ASSIST mentors are assigned to each team. These ASSIST employees help with advice, answer all types of questions and supervise the entire app creation process. With a consultant that is a specialist in software development, teams can rest assured that they are not alone, and somebody can point them in the right direction.

3. Teamwork plays a huge role   

Teamwork is unquestionably one of the most critical factors in the ASSIST Tech Challenge software competition. By working together, students can share the load and learn valuable information about themselves, not just their field of study.    

To take part in the competition, teams must have a minimum of three and a maximum of 5 people working on each app. Backend and frontend developers must also work hand in hand with testers. A designer would be a great addition if the team could recruit one. Developing a full-stack app with others teaches one about the work ethic and methodology used in software development.   

This working environment might also provide great insight into the other abilities individuals in each group have. Communication, leadership, and good time management skills also come into play.   

Don’t have a team? No problem.   

Whoever does not have a team to work with can still apply. ASSIST Software will create groups for them so that nobody willing to compete is excluded from the contest.

4. The BIG prizes   

Unsurprisingly, the big cash prizes are among the reasons why students find the motivation necessary to form teams and register.    

Seeing all the passion and hard work that went into developing last year’s apps, ASSIST Software has raised the total prize pool to 10,000 lei.    

This year, the winners will be able to take home: 

 

Team Awards:

  • 1st place: 3700 lei/ team

  • A personalized ASSIST Software tote bag    
  • A multifunctional ASSIST Software scarf    
  • A personalized ASSIST Software notebook    

   

5. The employment opportunities ASSIST Tech Challenge creates   

Getting a job while in school might be challenging, but it’s the best kickstart of one’s road to financial independence and career satisfaction.    

Everybody says a student must work their way up, and ASSIST Software is ready to open the door to marvelous opportunities. Even students who do not win might get an invitation to start an ASSIST Software internship or get a dream job straight away in a company that values its employees, offers competitive salaries, and focuses on growth and well-being. Therefore, why not try your luck and register for ASSIST Tech Challenge?
