The 2019 National Web Design and Mobile APP Creation Competition for Charity / Technology / Humanities was initiated by Chinese Professional Management Association of Hsinchu in 2000. In 2012, the App Creation Competition was added in response to the development of Internet technology. Over the past 19 years, more than 5,400 teams and 16,000 participants have participated in the competition. It has become an innovative approach to promoting social welfare through computer and network technology. The purpose of this competition is to enhance innovation, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit in domestic colleges and universities, so as to help students integrate their life experiences with the theory and practice they learn at school. Students can thereby enhance their power of innovation through this competition. They need to combine their experience with practice before they recognize that innovation is not only an empty talk about theory, but also requires practical experience and enthusiasm for continuous innovation and research and development.

Owing to the fact that the announcement of the finalists was only 17 days away from the finals, all the participating students spared no effort to actively prepare the materials for the finals. In the face of powerful competitors from all over the country, our team finally won the Gold Award in the “Mobile APP University Group.” The good results are indeed commendable.
