WHY IPAD?
Meet OwenMeet Owen Voorhees. Owen and his 9 year old brother are responsible for the Math Time game that sells in the Apple App store. After being released in 2009, the app quickly rose to #13 on the best seller list for paid, educational apps. It’s impressive feat especially considering that Owen did all of the coding himself and his brother Finn designed the images in Photoshop.
WHY IPAD?
Meet RobertBubble Ball, a game designed by 18th grader Robert Nay from Utah and described in the app store as a "fun, new physics game", has finally done what other apps couldn't. Despite lacking the visual appeal of Angry Birds, Bubble Ball is equally as addictive, so much so that it has been downloaded more than two million times and has knocked Angry Birds from its number one spot.
WHY IPAD?
Meet BrookylnBrooklyn is more than your typical 12-year-old. She takes dance lessons, plays tennis, and argues with her twin brother like many other girls her age, but on the side, she’s an entrepreneur. And with her family’s help, she designed Giggle Bear™ for the iPhone mobile digital device. The game, available today on iTunes, is the brainchild of Brooklyn.
WHY IPAD?
Meet CameronHe isn't the youngest kid to write an iPhone app, but 11-year old Cameron is wise beyond his years. He is donating a substantial part of the proceeds from his drawing app iSketch to the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.
