Also, a mobile app developed by AceApplications was demonstrated so the “girlz” could gain insight on how smart phone applications are created. This free workshop was held at Memorial Middle School (2220 West 29 St., Orlando, FL 32805) from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. AceApplications is a client of the UCF Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County.
