STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — The first phase of Oklahoma State University's Mobile App Competition is complete, and the winning ideas are "Drive to win!" and "Fitness Telematics."
The contest is sponsored by the OSU Mobile App Center along with AAA Oklahoma and CSAA Insurance Group. And the winners emphasize various mobile technologies that apply to insurance or "Insurance Telematics," the theme of this year's contest.
Students presented short summaries of their ideas to a panel of judges, which included representatives from the insurance companies and Interworks, Pivotal Labs and the app center steering committee. The panel evaluated the pitches as well as the concepts involved.
The second phase of the competition is open to any student with the app programming skills to develop a functional prototype of the app. Registration began on Dec. 2.
