9.5 Group 5 Apps for Good Competition Entry 2015
- 1. The Student’s Voice App By Matthew Jansen, Jethushun Divaharan, Richard Park, Stephen Satkunatheva
- 2. We are developing a social media app to specifically help students address issues within the school and discuss these problems between each other, securely with a students communication app.
- 3. The app is aimed at students who want to improve the school’s environment by providing suggestions and voicing issues within the school and its community. This app would make the process of raising concerns and issues simple and hassle-free, without the risk of your privacy being taken away.
- 4. Situations our app could solve Students voice: • Students who face issues such as not knowing what the homework set was or when a piece is due. • Students may want to raise issues and suggestions for school.
- 5. [Question] Student’s voice: How can students raise their concerns and suggestion effectively and securely? How can students clear misunderstandings and worries without arguing and making the situation worsen?
- 6. The Problem our App will solve Student Voice: Nothing usually happens in Student Council meetings at school and they usually end in arguments and no progress being made in the subject. Student Voice can effectively and safely address and solve multiple problems in one useful application
- 7. Social media apps like our apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have some issues that our app will fix. These apps have many cases of privacy being exposed and breached. You can also receive messages and followers from people you do not know.
- 8. DETAILS
- 11. This app will not be very complex to make, because it will only have to link back to one online database. Furthermore this database will not need any information preloaded into it. All of the data, forum comments and login details, will be entered after the app has been launched. This app will have to come with a website which will host the database and where it will be possible to create accounts for students (a function not possible in the app for security reasons). We would like to integrate into this website a function which would allow head teachers or other administrators to link their own student databases to ours.
- 12. Who's your target customer? We are targeting secondary school students who want to take an active role in improving their school What customer problem or challenge do you solve? Students feeling that they have no say in the running of their school and problems present in school What value do you deliver? Communication and effective debate on subjects How will you generate revenue? Advertisements
- 13. 1: App will make money via advertisements 2: You can pay to remove advertisements 3: Free app, with a friendly and simple interface for students
- 14. App Mock-up We have showed this app to many students at our school and we have also designed a website, to provide more detail about our app and its function.
Editor's Notes
- #7: Use your key insights statements from your findings during Scoping to provide evidence that your app is solving a genuine problem in a different way for users. Examples: Buzzer Buddiez: you wake up to hit snooze/ switch off the alarm, but don’t get up. Friends and family i.e. social pressure can help to push you to actually get out of bed. Transit: parent- teacher conferences are not open-ended conversations. You can map the key areas of negative feedback around attendance, behaviour, results etc. to bridge the conversation between parents and teachers. Oyster on the Go: Oyster travel data can already be accessed online, the key trick is to make it easily accessible on the go. Cattle Manager: You can keep a simple record of your actions on your phone
- #12: Summarise what you have learnt about data, content and technical feasibility. This is crucial, if your product relies heavily on any of these areas. If your product does not rely on them heavily, please explain why. This will show that your team has really understood feasibility well.
- #13: Our target audience would be children in secondary school.
