74,000 students use technology to solve United Nations Development Goals (which include reducing poverty and hunger, improving access to education, and ensuring environmental sustainability):
“At the recent U.S. finals of the Imagine Cup competition, student teams from across the country showed off not only their technical brilliance but also an eagerness to improve the world through gaming and software development.

How about using a portable device to help visually impaired students with note-taking, or a digital strategy game that challenges children to improve the environment through clean energy, or a game for your smart phone in which players fight deforestation to earn points.”
