The nine-year-old app creator

Some people used their free time during the lockdown to learn a new hobby, nine-year-old Aarav from Wyndham Vale made an app.

Med-On-Go connects pharmacists to their customers, allowing them to order their prescriptions and get them delivered directly to their homes.

It took Arav eight weeks to create the app.

“If people are sick or old and they can’t get to the pharmacy and they don’t have any support to pick up their prescriptions, they can just use the app to order and get their medicines delivered,” Aarav said.

Arav began taking coding classes at BYJU’s FutureSchool during the pandemic, he said the skills he acquired will help him chase his dreams.

“My teacher’s the best part and I like coding and doing the designs,” he said.

“I’ve built something that will help the world and now I want to build something that will help kids. I want to build gaming apps,” he said.

Arav hopes to one day build a robot that can act as an at home teacher so kids can learn from home.

“I just want to build a robot that will help me relax,” he said.
