They created a website that would provide information and post traumatic counseling, along with a mobile application that would alert, call or text any preferred contact or hotline if they are ever in danger.

One of the team members, Giovanna DeSouza won a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge phone for being the best hacker in the secondary school section.

It was a fun day and an excellent learning experience and we look forward to participating next year.
