Featured story

Here’s a great story of Developer Student Group member Destiana Choirun Nisak, who leveraged her local Developer Student Clubs community to build a flood alerting app, L-Flood. A Bojonegoro Village, Indonesia native, Destiana has seen and experienced how the floods affect her community. While enrolled at PENS University, Destiana met 'Dana' Surahutomo Aziz Pradana and they set out to create a solution that alerts those in the surrounding areas when they know the river is going to flood. Through the app, local authorities can send alerts and find the closest safe point based on their location.

Samuel and a Developer Student Club community in Uganda together solved a local challenge by building a mobile app with Firebase for users to track their medical vaccinations and enable better tracking for patients and healthcare workers. Their team won the annual Solution Challenge competition after being selected from a pool of 170 applicants.
