    This document outlines plans for an app called Insta News that would push relevant school information to students' mobile devices. It would use beacon technology to determine students' locations within the school. The app would have a front end built for Android and a back end hosted on Google App Engine, allowing for fast updates by administrators. The front end would connect to the back end using Google Endpoints and retrieve event data from the cloud datastore. The document provides overviews of the planned front end and back end classes and components, as well as ideas for future enhancements.
