Apps for Good (<a href="http://appsforgood.org">http://appsforgood.org</a>) is an award-winning technology education movement where young people learn to create apps that solve problems they care about and change the world.

Apps for Good is supported by hundreds of technology entrepreneurs, UX designers and developers as Expert volunteers, as well as tech industry partners like Facebook, Google, Samsung, Thomson Reuters and Barclaycard. Praised by Secretary of State Michael Gove, Apps for Good has been widely covered in national publications including The Times, Guardian, Wired, The Next Web, The Economist and BBC News.
