Over the holidays we asked you to design your own apps, tell us what your app would do, share some images of what your app would look like, and if you really wanted to go above and beyond, make a video or a prototype using Mozilla's Appmaker.

Our Grand Prize

Earning the MicroProject Winner Badge and a $60 gift card to Best Buy for their squad is Ben N 722 from Halsey's MOUSE Squad in Queens, NY.

We really liked Ben N 722's idea for an app that would teach you how to text more quickly, a very useful skill these days! Ben N 722's diagram of how their app would work really impressed us. Ben N 722 even made a prototype on Appmaker which is a great work-in-progress and a video explaining how the app works.

Congratulations Ben N 722 and all of the Halsey MOUSE Squad members!

Our First Runner Up

Our first runner up receiving a Papertronics Lunar Module is Nerd Squad from Berkeley, California. We liked Nerd Squad's funny app (designed with Appmaker) about BART, the public transit system in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Check out Nerd Squad's project!

Our Second Runner Up

Also receiving a Papertronics Lunar Module is Liver Drumsticks Blue Angels from Daly City, California. We liked how their idea for "Creative Ranking" app allows users to get feedback on their artwork.
