Inspiration
I was inspired to work on this app based on a study done by Pew Research that said that over 60% of Generation Z plan to change the world. So I thought to myself how could they do this if they don’t have enough resources to stay informed on current events?. Also being a member of Generation Z, I often find it very intimidating when I see both men and women adults at the core of current events. It often makes me feel like I don't have a voice and am not as important in society. This app is supposed to help members of Generation Z with that. It reminds them that age is nothing but a number. Through this app, users are able to demand change and create a better future by signing links and petitions and getting informed.
What it does
Dear Gen Z is a resource for members of Generation Z with information on current issues supplying the user with info, links to petitions, links to organizations to donate to, tips, and so much more. It also helps the user take care of their mental health because especially for Gen Z, mental health is so important. My app also allows voters to find polling places near them and register to vote. Through this app, members of Gen Z have the ability to find their voice. They are the future and it is time that they created change.
How I built it
I built my app using the language Swift on Xcode.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges that I ran into would be errors and sometimes getting confused with the amount of view controllers I had in my project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Accomplishments that I am proud of would be my icons, my buttons because all of them work, the amount of topics my app has, and the aesthetic.
What I learned
I learned that I have the ability to create a successful app. Even though it was hard at times, it is so worth it seeing my final project.
What's next for Dear Gen Z
Dear Gen Z hopefully can be a reminder to the upcoming generation that they can change the world no matter the age limit. It is their time now.
