This App Makes Your Phone Alert You When You Approach Places Where Women Made History

May 09, 2019 by apost team

Women’s achievements and remarkable histories have been ignored on many occasions. These strong women fail to get the recognition they deserve, and it’s a sad fact that people are doing little to make the notion change.

However, one non-profit making organization noticed the problem and embarked on a mission to act accordingly. From their statistics, women were only given about 17% of the time on Google’s daily doodles. Luckily, Google took the time to listen to the organization, SPARK Movement and settled a deal with them.

The alliance should put more women on the recognition map, and not because they hold the “female” title but due to the bravery and boldness in making history.

The SPARK Movement also managed to convince Google to partake in one of their many research projects that should aim at celebrating achieving women. The initiative, Google’s Field Trip app incorporated the narrative of looking for women who made history but had been ignored.

With the Google Field Trip app, interested individuals will install the app and switch on its history notifications settings. Every time a user with the app approaches a location where a remarkable woman made history in the past, they get alerts and may choose to read about the individual at the exact moment or save it for later.

The SPARK Movement is an inspiration by young girls aged 13-22. In a bid to look for worthy role models and mentors, these girls formed the SPARK Movement. All its works, developments, initiatives and research are the fruit of all these girls who came together for a great course.

There was need to educate and inspire themselves through women who had achieved great strides in the past.

• The Arpilleristas from Santiago Chile. They are a group of women who came together to weave colorful tapestries as a way to highlight the violence and mayhem faced during the Pinochet’s regime.
• Mary Ellen Pleasant from San Francisco. She was an activist who spearheaded for the abolition of slave labor and torture.

The Movement has documented over a hundred phenomenal women on the app. They are looking forward to increasing the number and invite interested individuals to nominate underrated female achievers into their initiative.

From these young minds, this initiative couldn’t gather anything less than an A grade. The application will help recognize women who deserved better celebration and aid the younger generation in knowing more worthy mentors and role models.
