An Arizona student created an app to help his peers study for the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Test (our Civics Test). The app is available on lawforkids.org. In addition, McDonalds is offering students Egg McMuffins in exchange for using the app and passing the Civics Test. The initiative's name is "Be an Egg-Xemplary Citizen" In addition to the study aspect of the app, students can play against friends or the app itself.
