According to a TNIE report, Meaidaibahun's app would help children and students to alert their teachers, parents and others anonymously against bullies. She developed the app within three months since enrolling with White Hat Junior in September last year. If everything goes well, it will feature in Google's Play Store.
Meaidaibahun, who will meet many famous people in California in May, might just be Northeast's youngest entrepreneur. She will present her application before an audience in the valley.
