At the G-iOS Launchpad, we empower student-led innovation through curated focus areas. These thematic tracks invite learners to address real-world issues-fostering purposeful app development with enduring social value.
Students are guided to create apps that enhance independence and everyday living-such as tools that support the elderly or differently-abled in managing routines, monitoring health, or improving mobility. This focus area blends empathy with design thinking, ensuring accessibility and user centered solutions that make technology inclusive for all.
Aligned with the program’s commitment to diversity, this area cultivates inclusive engagement in technology. Projects may tackle gender equity, uplift underrepresented groups in STEM, and champion accessibility in tech education and careers.
This track emphasizes solutions grounded in social good-ranging from community health to civic engagement. Students may develop applications for public service, environmental awareness, mental wellness, or local governance, ensuring technology serves the greater good.
The Launchpad is designed as a step-by-step journey from idea to launch
