Need an app for that?Anvitha Vijay,9 years old,can build it.With the help of YouTube videos,the young girl from Melbourne,Australia,Learned to code（编程）at age 7.Soon,she was trying her hand at making apps.
"When I first got my iPad,I was attracted by all the apps on it,"she told TFK."It wasn't long before I wanted to create my own."

Anvitha's skills won her an award to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco,California There,she got tips from so many smart people.She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software（软件）for app building.
All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one,called GoalsHi,inspires kids to practice good habits. Users are rewarded for achieving goals,such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano."Kids can set goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,"she says,"The idea is to encourage kids to achieve one little step a day."
