Children are more capable of thinking out of the box than most of us. They can think of solutions that would never even occur to us, even if we are aware of the problem. This is why kids are making such an impact as app makers. Thanks to the internet and online courses, turning ideas into reality is not a dream anymore. Let’s check out 5 apps made by children.
