This week in Flutter #132: A new Flutter challenge

The Flutter team and Global Citizen’s Morgan unveil their partnership. The Global Citizen app is built with Flutter, and it has brought about improvements for over a billion people. The result of the partnership is the Global Gamers Challenge, a competition to create sustainable games using Flutter for environmental awareness.

After the Flutter Clock Challenge and the Flutter Puzzle Hack, this is the third challenge from the Flutter team. Each one is more ambitious than the previous one. Because of limited time, I am not going to participate this time either, but I am looking forward to seeing the results.
