January 30, 2020 – High Tech Help for Hungry Students – According to a 2016 survey, close to half of the students at BSU describe themselves as food insecure, or not knowing where their next meal will come from because of financial strain. At the same time, catered events on campus often have leftover food that goes to waste if no one’s there to claim it.

Bronco BEAM, a just-released app created by GIMMworks, the College of Innovation and Design team that works on tech solutions for social issues, aims to solve both problems.

On this episode of Elemental Idaho, we’ll talk with the Bronco “BEAM Team” behind the app, including Issiac Torrero, Tyler Chapman, Olivia Thomas. and Allison Corona.
