• Disability Hackathon, November 2016.
• Google Ireland HQ Barrow Street, Dublin.

• in Schools or Colleges or at Coder-Jo Events
• could write Plugins for, possibly using JavaScript.
• After the Students tested the Plug-in,
• it would then be uploaded to the Apps Website,
• so that others could download and use it.
• We Presented our Proposal to the Judges and an Audience
