App Competition FAQ

Past Competition Winners

Bug Scope

The Bug Scope app allows its users to effectively identify and respond to certain types of parasites that may be of their concern. A user-submitted image will be analyzed using a machine learning algorithm to identify the parasite in the image. 

Oklahoma Landscape Plant App

The app would help consumers choose plants that suit their landscape needs and are adapted to Oklahoma's growing conditions. The plant database that would populate this app would be taken from those plants that are recommended by various OSU Extension publications.

The app would provide drought timeline for farmers by estimating the drought index. Along with the timeline, the app also computes drought frequency with respect to drought category and provides pie charts for a particular growing season.
