Project Achievements
The first This APP event attracted over 800 participants from 60+ countries. Damilola is currently working on an American Sign Language app and hopes to study both computer science and political science to advocate for equity in tech and policy.
Project Inspiration
Damilola founded This APP after noticing a lack of inclusivity in traditional hackathons. Her mission is to inspire and empower young women and underrepresented groups in tech, particularly in regions with fewer opportunities.

By fostering a global community of learners, the initiative builds confidence, inspires future careers in STEM, and drives greater inclusivity in the industry. Its impact extends beyond education by influencing policy discussions on equity in technology.
