Need some Social Good Inspiration?

The Developer Circles Community Challenge asks you to build software that falls into one of three categories. If you’re interested in building for Social Good, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are a great place to start. In fact, Facebook featured several of the SDGs at the 2019 F8 Hackathon.

Albert Chan at Facebook spoke about the SDGs and Lual Mayen in this video. Learn more about Lual’s story “From Refugee to Game Developer.”

Did you know?! Fun Hack Fact Friday

Did you know?!

React360 applications are not restricted to 2D panels in space – you can also bring in 3D elements. Pre-built objects that have been created in 3D modeling or sculpting software can be brought into your application. React360 intentionally does not contain primitive elements like boxes and spheres – instead, it is designed to import prepared objects. You can build larger scenes from these elements.

Learn More about 3D objects in React360 here.
