Lucas, CLB alumni, shares more about his post-Bootcamp experience below.

Thanks to LALA, I was able to meet the founders of Low Carbon City, a company that fosters projects that confront climate change and other environmental issues. We got in touch during the Bootcamp, and I had the opportunity to talk about the urban forestry project I was doing in Brazil. They became interested in the app I was developing, and now I’m one of the company’s ambassadors.

After the Bootcamp, I came back to Brazil with amazing positive energy. I started exploring way more exchange and social programs. That positive energy drove me to start developing my newest project: Vençapp.

Vençapp is a free mobile app with one ambitious goal: to teach people how to become more sustainable solely through games and challenges. The idea is simple: the app has 50 daily games and challenges that are divided into three topics: “Love and Friendship’, “Environmental Awareness,” and “Education and Studies.”Those challenges teach the user self-awareness, empathy towards their communities, how to focus on studies and work, and how to become more eco-friendly. The app has already been launched for Android devices, and I’m hoping to continue working on it for a long time!
