The MIT App Inventor team is thrilled to announce that our program has received the 2017 Distinguished Leadership Award from the Mass Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC).

MassTLC is the largest and most powerful technology association in the region, with the mission of accelerating growth and innovation in the Massachusetts technology industry. Their awards celebrate the region’s most notable technology leaders, companies and technologies. We’re gratified and humbled to be included among their ranks. Even more so because the nomination calls out our work in helping to make tech more accessible and empowering people around the globe.

The 20th Annual Mass Technology Leadership Awards Gala took place on the evening of Thursday, September 14th, at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston. We enjoyed attending ourselves, while constantly mindful that you, the members of the App Inventor community, are the real honorees as you actualize our technology to improve lives through your creativity and your vision.
