Kenyan Developer's App Get "Honorable Mention" at World Bank Award Ceremony

World Bank was last night awarding winners for Apps for Development competition. And there was one entry from Kenya which got an “Honorable Mention”. A CAPTCHA is always some challenge used online or on computer systems to make sure that the response to the challenge is not generated by non human.

And since other computers are unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human. According to Google, 200 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. And in in each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that’s not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day.

FACTCHA picks random data from the MDG database and present it to reCAPTCHA user in a fun-filled way. This way, the user moves from solving a non problem to solving a real world problem. The user is presented with a pictorial representation of the MDG goals and he /she has to drag the highlighted one to the grey circle. If successful submitted, the form reloads to allow the submission but at the same time loads a random fact about the progress of countries on the MDGs for the user to learn.

This is the application which got an “Honorable Mentio” by World Bank at the award ceremony yesterday
