COMVITIES

By: Shirley

5 WsWho- Mainly for young people, but also

available to other people.What- Let more young people doing the

community activitiesWhen- You can use this app anytimeWhere- You can use this app everywhere.Why- Because some people always seem

bored or refuse to go out.

ProblemA lot of young people start to refuse and disgust going

outside or some people they always seems bored. More and more young people like to stay at home because they think outside is boring. I think it’s because outside things might not attract them enough so they stay at home, when they stay at home, they start to refuse to go out or disgust the community. And then it will be a circulation and get worst. Or another situation is that some people always feel boring, but they don’t know what to do. I think to help them and make them more energetic and ambitious is let them get involved with some community activities.

QuestionThe core question that I want to address is

how to contact with all the community activities and city council. My app is all about the community activities and based on it but if I can’t get contact with the city council or local council, nothing would work.

Key insight statement(s)People who are bored or refuse to go out

currently try to forced themselves go out, but this solution does not work because of they find boring when they go out; or another situation is they might not have friends, they can't do anything when they go out. And these things can affect their thinking thus become to a circulation.

Our key insight is that people need to find the activities which are around their local or the activities they interest with to help them overcome their problem.

The Mini Elevator PitchI am developing a web app mainly for young

people, lonely people but also adults to have an interesting time and a more enjoyable life. We will use GPS, which means they can get involved with some activities which are near their location. And this costs nothing (most of them), they could make more friends, it the benefits everyone.

User ProfileAbigail:She helps around the house a lot but does not have

many hobbies to attend in her area.She is a young teenager girl.She does not likes to go out.Abigail is a teenager girl she complains that she does

not see simple problems that can easily be solved not attended to. For example littering, vandalism e.g. it's as if she says that people do not care anymore.

I have gathered during this process that my interviewed customer that she believes there are not enough interesting community surfaces to be done in Birmingham. She believes that clearly we do not have enough community services that appeal to teens because we still have problems such as vandalism, theft.

Competitors or alternative solutionsI haven't found any other solutions like my app but I did found some similar

websites.http://15slh.qataracademy.wikispaces.net/CAS http://blogs.longwood.edu/pugheng400/2013/03/29/my-community-service-p

http://www.central-vt.com/web/landtrust/ My app is mainly about teenagers and young adults helping community and

join more community activities, but those websites did not solve the actually problem and they did not just focus on a range of people. They only said what is the problem, how they will solve the problem but they haven’t write anything about what people should do and activities. My app is more about the local activities, found the activities which are most near to the customers so the customer wouldn’t too bother with that. The websites on the above only wrote their address not very humanized for the customers. And I think some of the websites are too simple, and they did not leave the place for people’s feedback and questions. Also the problem of them is, they only have one activity, for example: planting. I do not think this is very attractive to people or young people.
