7-Year-Old Develops Mobile Game App

By Holly Lebowitz Rossi

Ball has become the youngest individual to create a full version of a mobile application video game, which she unveiled last month in the University of Pennsylvania's Bodek Lounge during the university's "Bootstrap Expo."

Seven-year-old Ball has also become a master of the Bootstrap programming language, and when asked, Ball was able to reconfigure her application on the fly using Bootstrap.

"We expect great things from Zora, as her older brother, Trace Ball, is a past STEM Scholar of the Year," said Harambee Science Teacher Tariq Al-Nasir, who is also the founder of Harambee's successful STEMnasium Learning Academy. "I am proud of all my students. Their dedication to this program is phenomenal, and they come to class every Saturday, including holiday breaks."
