    Every generation thinks, acts, and engages differently than the next one and it’s on us to meet this generation where they are, on their mobile devices. This is a direct line to support them and help them achieve their goals from navigating through college to graduating. But the key isn’t to only ask them what they want or need, it is to involve them in the process of building a mobile experience for themselves and their peers. Which is exactly what the Modo Ideathon enabled, 240 students from 8 institutions across the country built and presented mobile applications that solved specific challenges on their campuses. Now, at Kurogo only, a panel of students from UC Berkeley, Florida State University, Cypress College, CSU Bakersfield, and TAMUCC will share their experiences and answer your questions on how, through the Ideathon, they were able to successfully leverage technology and build innovative solutions.
