Avalon School has two teams competing in the 2015 all-girl global coding competition, Technovation Challenge. The two teams must design and code an application for an Android device, like a phone or tablet, that works to improve the local community. The girls will take their finished product, along with a business and marketing plan, to the Technovation[MN] Appapalooza on May 3 (the location has not been determined) and make their pitch to a panel of judges. The class is taught by several local developers and computer scientists, including some from the University of Minnesota and Buzzfeed’s Minneapolis team.
