In this international app development competition, a LoveTech team comprised of two members from New York and two members from Massachusetts set out to change the landscape of online shopping by creating an sustainable fashion app, EcoWear. EcoWear features a thrift store locator, catalog of sustainable brands in all styles and price ranges, and a dress up game featuring real-life sustainable clothing pieces the user can shop from. To improve this app, LoveTech members gathered user feedback from 50+ people and implemented it to create the final version of EcoWear.
LoveTech's team placed as a world finalist, one of the five teams worldwide in the senior division, and was invited to attend the World Summit! You can view our submissions on our YouTube.
Hosted by the United States Agency of International Development, youth in the United States developed solutions to problems in the world using technology. Three LoveTech teams participated in this challenge, creating solutions to issues like digital harm, safeguarding, and climate change. Amidst the solutions were an in-person curriculum for educators, an educational game for youth, and an interactive website with statistics ingrained in mini games.
This was the competition that started LoveTech! In this international app development competition, girls around the world make apps to solve one or more of the 12 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Four LoveTech members created LoveBody, an app to help teenage girls with body image struggles through features such as a journal, breathing exercises, and more. The premise of the app resulted from the rise in insecurities from social media. At the end of the season, LoveTech's team placed as a quarterfinalist.
