chill pill

Inspiration

Teenagers balance so much every day-- between friends, family, challenging courses in school, sports, and maintaining good health, we have a lot on our plates. The three of us made chill pill because we thought an app that could help us manage our time and stress levels could definitely do us some good.

What it does

chill pill is designed to help stressed students manage their work load effectively to help prevent anxiety and depression. Users will enter their mood and in return are given inspirational quotes and breathing exersizes depending on how they feel. Once the user syncs his or her Google Calander with the app, chill pill will create a personalized home work schedule that not only factors in all extra curriculars, but also how difficult the class is for the user. We do a very thorough sign up process in order to personalize the app for everyone. The app provides the user with a calender, study and life tips, along with a log of their sleep cycle.

How I built it

First, we brainstormed problems that teens face every day- we all agreed that for us, stress is a huge obstacle. Next, we decided how our app was going to work and sketched out our ideas on paper, making our wireframe. At the same time, someone else in our group made a website for chill pill with HTML, and we also created our logo on Scratch. Finally, we uploaded the pictures of the wireframe to our website, and pasted the logo there too.

Challenges I ran into

We started off using Scratch to make the wireframe, but soon after decided that it just wasn't the technology that we wanted to use. It was very difficult for us to draw out our app pages, and took too much time. So, we moved over to paper and pen.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We made an app that we would actually use, as well as a website that nicely displays what we created and our pitch.

What I learned

The three of us are most familiar with Java programming, but with this project we learned how to do some HTML, and that was very different and interesting to see another way to code.

What's next for chill pill

We would like to expand the capabilities of the app to measure how much sleep the user gets, and give the user tips on how to keep themselves on track throughout their stressful weeks.
