After months of enormous grooming and all night preparation by the shortlisted qualifiers of the just ended Ayoba Hackaton 2021, “Academy App” developed by Prince Owusu has been crowned the ultimate winner.
The search for the brilliant app idea was a tough journey from the 271 applicants to the final stage winding down to the best of the best. The Academy App developer; Prince Owusu shared mixed feelings about his victory with mfidie.com.
According to Prince, tireless works behind the pc was really worth this opportunity. He said moving forward, he is looking at improving on his application and working with MTN Ghana to help transform the Ghana education system with a smarter way of learning.
The zeal to solve the everyday hustle of people’s ability to access educational facilities triggered Prince to come up with such a brilliant idea. The Academy App deserves an awesome remark just like the competing apps in this project.
The top 5 apps who qualified for the grande finale include Request; A petty cash solutions app for organisations, Stride; A reliable delivery service app, Amalyia; A food rating and recommendation based on the users’ location, Academy; A smart learning platform for students and UNLOQR; A game rewarding app.
