Four high school students from Washtenaw Technical Middle College (WTMC) have reached the finals of a national championship for social innovation.
The students designed an app called Athletassist to improve communication between injured athletes, coaches and medical staff. The innovative app helps athletes quickly identify areas of pain and talk to coaches about their injuries.
The student designers of the app are dual-enrolled college students at Washtenaw Community College (WCC) and the only team from Michigan ever to compete in the Future Bound Junior Achievement National Finals for the Social Innovation Challenge at Georgia State University.
The event runs June 8-11.
