These four teenagers are kickin\u2019 some serious booty. They\u2019re from East Palo Alto where graffiti and litter is a big issue. Instead of trying to ignore it, they created an app to fix the problem.<\/p>\n
Margarita Tenisi, Rosie Valencia, Ashley Davis and Vanessa Tostado make up the \u201cEPA Chica Squad\u201d.<\/p>\n
Teamed up with a couple professional coders, they spent their after-school hours working on the app. Three months later, the app Tag It! graced the world with its awesome presence.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s opened my eyes to new things that I could do with my life, and it\u2019s not something that only certain people can do, it\u2019s something that everyone can do,\u201d Rosie told NationSwell.<\/span><\/p>\n The premise: If you see a site that has bad graffiti or a lotta trash, you tag it through the app and create a clean-up event. Then peeps in the community can make a jolly afternoon of it making their streets cleaner and having good convos with neighbors.
