Hsu Helps High Schoolers Turn Their Idea into a Working App

For the second year, EdTech’s assistant professor Yu-Chang Hsu was selected to coach a group of students working to turn their award-winning idea into a working mobile app.

The five-member team of 11th and 12th graders from the Tri-Tech Skills Center in Kennewick, Washington, received personal guidance from Hsu from Feb. 19-21.

The high schoolers won one of eight “Best in Nation” awards in the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The students won for their idea for a Safe & Sound app, which offers teens ways to manage stress or feelings of depression.

Below are some photos of Hsu working with the high schoolers:
