"Germy": a sample supplemental template app

Germy (Learn & Play!) is an interactive mobile learning app about germs and the importance of handwashing. Using a Learn & Play structure, Germy first presents a student with lessons to learn, then provides the student with an opportunity to play a quizzing game to demonstrate what they've learned. It features multimedia, such as audio and images, and can easily be translated into multiple languages (presently available in English and Hindi text with Hindi audio). It was built and is hosted on the CommCare platform, and can be used on Java and Android devices.
