Here’s a place you wouldn’t expect to find an award-winning app. A cattle farm in Scotland. The application is, yes, for cattle management. It was designed by teenagers as part of a contest put together by an organization called Apps for Good.  

Judith Burns, a producer at the BBC’s radio project called School Report, joined us to talk about it. Click play on the audio player above to hear the interview.
