Are you a student who loves to code or has a great idea for a mobile app? Maybe you’re building one right now. Or perhaps you’ve been putting it off in the hope that one day there’ll be an amazing app-building contest run by Google. One where you’ll be able to test your ingenuity and coding skills against other students from around the world. Yup, that day has arrived. The AdMob Student App Challenge is a mobile app contest open exclusively to students. The goal is to build a great app, and learn to make money from it with AdMob, while competing with other students globally. AdMob is a platform for app developers to help them make money from apps and advertise them too, and it’s owned by Google.
