Comment

Inspiration

Submission for Specialized's challenge. ADHD kids struggle in classrooms Child obesity Video game addiction Fewer opportunities for kids to be outside With an app that has snap chat integration, kids will be more inclined to use it. Everyone loves Snapchat.

What it does

Our app allows the gamification of biking to push kids to go outside. The app tracks your biking statistics to give you a score and level, to make physical activity more of a game. In addition, we implemented Snap Kit, adding Snapchat logins, Bitmojis, and allowing your game to be shared on Snapchat seamlessly. 91% of kids think Riding for Focus is a fun program, and 93% of kids would recommend it to a friend, and our application only further incentivizes this.

How we built it

HTML, CSS, JS-Node, Cordova, Twist API, Swift, Xcode, Snap Kit Creative, Bitmoji, and Login.

Challenges we ran into

There were many problems using the Snap Kit SDK as it was very new. But once this was all figured out it was smooth sailing.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Gorgeous user interface, that links with Snapchat to create a data-rich sticker.

What's next for Bike Hero

We're going to Disney Land.
