“The Eco Hackathon was a complete suc-
cess,” says Boudell. “What was stunning
about this Hackathon is that participants
had no experience with MIT App
Inventor, in fact, almost all participants
had no programming experience whatso-

duce. Hackathon participants created
ecology apps for use in field work and in
education and outreach.”

Tang, for supporting our SEEDS Eco
Hackathon event!”
