    IDEA students showcase ‘nifty’ technology plans at Startup Tech Showcase

    By The Hub on May 22, 2017 Inside Dallas ISD

    Students at the Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship Academy (IDEA) put their entrepreneurship skills into practice, pitching their ideas for new apps and accompanying business plans to local community leaders at the Startup Tech Showcase.

    Student teams developed the business plans and functioning prototypes for each application over the past year in partnership with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE – pronounced “nifty”). Each plan was designed to meet a need they identified in their community.

    One team created “Notefy,”a note-taking app that allows students to easily share notes with one another and includes built-in tips and games to help teach positive study habits. Another team noticed their deaf friends struggling to place orders at restaurants. To support their friends and others like them, they created “A Hope that Helps” – an app to translate text to audio and vice-versa, including seamless integration with the websites of local restaurants.

    The teams competed for three prizes of up to $350 generously donated by NFTE and Verizon.

    Here are the winners for the Startup Tech Showcase.
