- AW Going body of students who are seeking to use technology to make a difference Creation of apps that support very specific functions that are time and place bound and need to be available quickly and often Coming from the success of the Thrive@HBS app, the Harvard college worked with students to develop their health & wellness app with significant student input HIstory of hackathons (e.g. hack harvard) and students recognized a gap of an event where less technical students could create useful tools to support themselves and their colleagues with useful information.
