[Apps on the House @AppsOnTheHouse]

Too many “free” apps stopped feeling free.

Ads,
Paywalls,
Subscriptions.

So I built Apps On The House: Free browser games and tiny apps.

7 games are live now:

Apps On The House is live.

Free apps and games.
No ads. No subscriptions.

I’ll be adding 1 or 2 new app(s) every week until the end of summer.
Come play, use, and poke around: https://t.co/vzEE3vzq1x

I'm so excited and honored to receive the Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award at the University of British Columbia, where I will study computer science. I can't wait for Vancouver to be my home for the next four years!

Another challenge visually impaired people face is ordering food on the menus at restaurants. iC4U is here to help visually impaired people access info on restaurant menus, including ingredients and prices. iC4U can also give out personalized allergen warnings such as goat cheese

@RaspberryPi_org @CoolestProjects @CoderDojo IC4U is busy learning new tricks :) 🐕

[Selin Alara Ornek @Selinoid2]

It's hard to believe that I'm "too old" to enter @CoolestProjects

@CoderDojo and Coolest Projects were an important milestone in my journey. If you love technology and would like to showcase your projects, it's the best event to do so.

One of the challenges faced by visually impaired people is finding door knobs. So, #ic4u is here to help. The voice assistance feature is now complete. +

[Selin Alara Ornek @Selinoid2]

Can't wait to try it out :)

As we come to the end of #NationalCodingWeek, we wanted to share Selin's community story.

@Selinoid2's childhood pet inspired her to build tech projects that aim to help others live well. She's passionate about robotics and AI, and we're inspired by her latest project #ic4u3 😍
