12 students are working in teams on apps to use as entries in this year’s Technovation Challenge. This contest is for girls and encourages them to get involved in coding and the world of computing. The girls are 14 years old.
Team one has two students and they are creating an app called Music Club that uses Afghan musical instruments and is part academic and part cultural education.
Team two has four students and their app is called Keep Clean and provides information on how to keep the environment clean. It is useful for all people and is especially aimed at the primary school aged children so they will learn from an early age about being responsible for the environment.
Team three has 4 students and their app provides information of what to do before, during and after an earthquake.
The team mentor said, "The groups are working on class activities like business plans, presentations, pitch videos and demos. They will upload their work on the Technovation Challenge site and compete online this year. They are inspired by last year's suceess when our team won first place for the whole of Afghanistan."
Thank you for your support!
