MIDDLETOWN, DE, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Embarko is challenging students worldwide to take AI-built apps past the prototype stage, offering 250 prizes for apps launched live on its hosting platform and submitted by Nov. 30.
The Deploy With Embarko Student Challenge is free and open to students in every country. Entrants use any AI tool, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, to build an app of any kind, from a portfolio to a booking app or an AI tool, and publish it at a personal yourname.embarko.app address. They then post a video of 40 seconds to three minutes about the project on Instagram, X or YouTube with #DeployWithEmbarko.
“AI lets a student build something in an afternoon, but most of those projects never leave the laptop,” said Pushpendra Agrawal, founder of Embarko. “A link that works is what a recruiter, a professor or a first customer can actually open. That last step is the one we want students to practice.”
Each entry receives two scores. The work score covers how the app looks, the originality of the idea and whether it works on a phone.
The video score covers the opening hook, clarity, storytelling and how the video shows Embarko. The reach of each post also counts. Names and ranks will appear on a leaderboard on the challenge page once judging is done.
The top entry wins an iPhone 16. Second and third place receive a PlayStation 5 with Grand Theft Auto V, and fourth through eighth place receive Apple AirPods. The next 242 entries receive backpacks, bottles or T-shirts.
Registration takes under a minute and does not require an Embarko account. Entrants must keep their apps live and their posts public until results are published. Registration and official rules are at embarko.ai/challenge.
