Our Journey, What We learned and Challenges We Faced

Challenges and Learning: Coming from different backgrounds, we have come a long way while aspiring each other. Together, we have come up with numerous concepts from scratch before settling on one. While working as a team we have obtained crucial lessons on partnership, technopreneurship, leadership, presentation skills, time managements etc. It was a challenging task to plan our business strategy and make it work. The solutions we have come out with was rigorous as it effected lives directly. Throughout the development process, we encountered various challenges, both technical and non-technical. One significant technical challenge occurred just before the deadline when our app failed to install correctly. This critical issue required us to rebuild the app from scratch. Despite having worked on it for three months, we had to recreate the app in just three hours. Although the final submission was not as polished as we had hoped, this experience taught us resilience and adaptability. We had many obstacles but solving them together, left us with valuable problem solving skill and experience.

Tools: We have used MIT app inventor, power points, detailed database, and Google forms to survey interviews, VS code, artificial intelligence etc. to make this project succeed, and eventually acquiring knowledge from every aspect.
