Developing Android app by each participant was not possible so a paper app challenge was conducted. The participants were divided into seven groups  both in Dang and Butwal were asked to give out the concept of their app through their open thoughts. All of them were provided with two papers where they made a sketch of their app on one paper and made the documentation on another. 
  • Feedback/Suggestions:

The event completed successfully with the participants full of energy and enthusiasm. There were even some participants who did not have a laptop and smartphone but they had a strong desire to do something.
