App testers needed
A group of civically-minded programmers in Burlington has created an app for Vermont's Green Up day and they need help to get it tested. The idea for this app originated in an app development class at EHS several years ago, so it's very appropriate that we help with the test. Testers will put a trial version of the app on their phones and make sure that it works for all of the different scenarios that can come up. If you're interested in participating, contact Mrs. Smith at lsmith@ewsd.org
