Apps for Social Good

Apps allow you to engage and interact with your computers in various ways. Some apps are used for business purposes like banking apps, while others may be used for health and wellness, security, educational training, and entertainment like music and game apps.

Apps for social good are created and used to bring about a positive outcome and/or improve a common challenge in society. Think for a moment about possible challenges that we may experience as a community, as a nation, as a global citizen: global warming, affordable clean energy, housing, poverty, pandemics, etc.
