Meet James.
He knows no code. None!
He recently competed in a hackathon
at Google Campus #PeaceHack.
The Hackathon was
organised by the charity
International Alert to build
app concepts to deal with
CYBERBULLYING
and was attended by
students from a school that
had a no-cyberbullying
policy but it was still
happening.
Students interviewing #PeaceHackLDN teams about their apps.
Created Web App in 2 Days!
Without knowing any code, I created a demo Web
Application for Schools to submit instances of
Cyber-Bullying to Social Media Networks.
To give schools evidence as to whether a student’s
Social Media account had been hacked.
Features
❏ Secure logins for Schools & Social Media Networks.
❏ List of Information Requests for Social Media Network to accept or deny.
❏ Email notification to School when request is accepted or denied.
He was the runner-up!
Competing against 10 teams of experienced developers.
Lots of people have App
ideas…
With no one to build them
Why not?
Most people:
● can’t code (& no time to learn)
● can’t tell a good developer from a bad one!
● don’t have the budget
● don’t know how to manage the development process

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Problem: Student had been Cyber-Bullied and culprit said phone was hacked! School couldn’t prove if she was telling truth or not. Loss of Trust.
  • #8 Built Social Media side, lists of requests, ability to accept or deny requests, email notification to school when accepted or rejected.
