Company Summary

The Apps and Maps Studios at Temple University is charged with education missions, civic services and the responsibility of creating jobs in Philly. The URX project was inspired by these non-trivial missions. We have tested the URX concept on the Philly's vacant lot problem (Growshare.net) that has won Google API developer challenge Runners Up award (selected from 27 countries, 87 teams). We are interested in moving forward with full vision.
