Luca Bruno likes to be creative in his free time. But he doesn't make art or write stories. Instead, this Italian teenager finds it fun to make mobile phone apps. He thinks that apps can be a great way to help people. He started programming when he was ten, after he read about famous businessmen who started out as programmers. His latest app allows people around the world to find study partners for learning Italian. They can learn Italian and make friends at the same time!
"It gives me such a sense of achievement to see people using the app," says Luca. "I believe I'm helping people around the world to learn Italian!"

Some people prefer not to make things. They prefer to collect them! In India, Maya Badal doesn't collect coins or stamps. Instead, this teenage girl collects postcards!
"I know some people think postcards are rather old-fashioned, but I think they're a good way to learn about different places," Maya says. "I think it's interesting to see the beautiful buildings and landscapes in foreign countries."
Maya's first postcard shows the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Her dad sent it to her when she was five, and she liked it so much that she put it up on her bedroom wall! Now there are over one hundred postcards from thirty-two countries on Maya's walls. She dreams of travelling to these places in the future!
