Whats more, Awofisayos mission to improve the world is just beginning. The student participated in the Congressional App Challenge consecutively during her junior and senior years. The competition was created to inspire middle and high school students to learn to code and pursue professional opportunities in computer science, according to the companys website.

In their first year, co-founders Awofisayo and Ramirez joined heads to create Ask Sam. The application integrates a chatbot to address various perspectives in political topics including healthcare, taxes, the economy, and more. Ask Sam also provides resources to supplement or complement what users already know.

It was also a part of Awofisayos mission to address the food waste crisis. Hyper focused on amateur farmers, Plantry was created to help local crops grow. Planters can track their plants, watering times, harvest dates, and track the best locations to grow crops in various weather conditions. In addition, the application offers image detection models to help farmers recognize over 60 plants and the most common diseases.

Staying busy, Awofisayo also participated in Apples WWDC21 Swift Student Challenge. She created an interactive playground leading to a winning spot. Perks included a year membership in the Apple Developer program.

I believe that I am creating the next generation of computer scientists to be more diverse, not only in the users but also in the creations, Awofisayo said.

She continued: With my application that I did for the Apple Swift Challenge, there was a focus on bridging the gap between students with dyslexia and students who are member members of the hard of hearing and the deaf community, making sure they have the educational resources to succeed. Im trying to bridge the gap and make sure technology is accessible for everyone.
