• 2．Zea Tongeman，a 14-year-old student，who is crazy about the Internet，applied technology to create an application that encourages people to recycle while having fun.
     Zea was really inspired when she attended "Little Miss Geek Day"，an event that aims at making technology more accessible and appealing to young women and inspiring them to consider technology careers.Soon after，she entered "Apps for Good"，a competition that encourages students to create positive change through technology.Teaming up with her friend，Jordan Stirbu，she laid the foundations for "Jazzy Recycling".
     The "Jazzy Recycling" application is designed to encourage young people to recycle more，which wins the favor of the youth.It turns waste disposal into a game and helps you find places to recycle.Then you scan what you need to recycle，share it，and get rewards such as shopping vouchers （代金券） and games to be unlocked for what you have recycled.
