As part of Hispanic / Latin Heritage Month, Apple shared a highlight of apps created by Hispanic and Latin entrepreneurs who are leveraging technology to empower their communities.

Here are a few of my picks from the list:

Children will only access video content and learning games that are age-appropriate, from new discoveries to old favorites!
