A total of more than 700 tech-lovers in Da Nang and elsewhere in Central Viet Nam participated in the regional-level DevFest 2019 event organised by the city-based Google Developers Group (GDG) Mien Trung from 11 and 13 October.

Themed ‘Green Up! Your Code’, the contest aimed at encouraging the contestants to build up mobile apps and websites towards protecting the environment.

The ‘Doctor’s eyes for plant’ app won the first prize at this competition. Thanks to the high efficiency of this app, users can post a picture of such parts as leaves and fruit so that the app can detect whether or not the plant is infected with the disease, and give suggestions about how to handle this matter.

In addition to the cash prize, this project’s developers will be eligible for a filed trip to Google’s facilities and other tech companies based in Singapore.

This was the fourth time that DevFest had been held in Da Nang. DevFests are community-led developer events hosted by Google Developer Groups around the globe. GDGs are focused on community building and learning about Google’s technologies.
