The Central Technovation team "Sandeen Sisters" has successfully submitted their app in the Technovation Challenge to be considered as part of the global competition. They are one of 32 Minnesota teams and over 2,000 international teams competing in this mobile app challenge. Their app, Bountiful Basket Customer App (BBCA), presents customers with easy access to information about the non-profit organization Bountiful Basket Food Shelf. BBCA gives users an overview of what shopping at the food shelf entails, empowering them with the information needed for a seamless experience. They were able to practice their pitch at the US Bank Technology Center in front of executive leaders where they received positive feedback. Team Sandeen Sisters will pitch their app live on May 17 to a panel of judges with the other MN teams.

Participants included David Heine and Leah Serbus from SLS Accounting, Shelby Erickson from Ridgeview Medical Center, Jason Martens from Sackett Waconia and John Fahey, Carver County Commissioner.
