Dandilyonn SEEDS Summer Program
The Summer Environmental Education Development Program is an annual intensive 10-week mobile app development program meant to provide an opportunity for female college students to gain coding experience and work with a nonprofit. - Participants of the SEEDS program will work in teams of four to create an Android mobile application. - This mobile application should be a vehicle to solve a social issue in your community. For example, one may create an app to motivate children to participate in local sustainability projects. - The winner of the challenge will receive a cash prize from Dandilyonn. - For summer 2022, the program will run from June 11 to Aug 13. There will be a coaching/mentoring session every Saturday during these weeks from 9 AM PST to 11 AM PST
