Solidarity youth in Argentina: an app for people with dyslexia

Four teenagers created LectO, an app that makes reading and writing easier for people with dyslexia. They were motivated to help their classmates at the ORT school in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where they were in their 4th year of secondary school. 
Lisandro Elías Acuña, Fausto Fang, Gonzalo Díaz de Vivar and Ulises López Pacholczak are 16-year-old students who leant that children with dyslexia needed to access classes and their content easily, just like everyone else. Since one of the subjects at their school intended to develop an app, a website or a game as part of its curriculum, they started to work with the help of their teachers. They launched the first version in 2019 and kept making corrections with the collaboration of users and specialists. Today LectO has more than 10,000 users in different languages. 
Thanks to the students accompanied by their teachers and tested with those who needed it most, an idea that began as a possible solution to a real need in this school community is now a genuine project supported by users with dyslexia from 35 countries using it every day.
