Pranav Boddu developed his app, appropriately titled "Buddy Finder," to come up with a way for kids his age to find friends with similar interests during the pandemic.
To add a layer of security to the process, the young coder programmed his app in such a way that parents are in control of the signup and other features.
Boddu is now a finalist in the Silicon Valley Challenge for his work.
