Through the coronavirus pandemic, three US high school students quickly realised how isolated some of their peers were, which in many cases led to drug use to cope. So they set out to create an app that educates others on how the brain works, and how illnesses and common drugs impact it.
Legacy High School students Krupa Subramaniam and Kai Hoshijo and Peak to Peak Charter School student Koki Gunasinghe created the app, braiNformation, which won the 2nd District Congressional App Challenge from US Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Lafayette.
