Learn how friends Raj and Ben worked together to invent iTrash a solution to a common problem in cafeterias around the world.

“We picked this problem because in our school cafeteria, people kept mixing up trash, recycling, and compost. At first, we wanted to make a robotic sorting system, but then we realized robots are super hard to build, use a lot of energy, and are really expensive. Apps are way easier, don’t use much energy, and are free. So of course, we went with an app.”
